classes: Glass Fusing • Print Making • Candle Making

Creativity has always been a huge part of my life, but Carlton House by Luke really grew from a simple idea—creating things by hand that people can connect with and enjoy. What started with one craft (candle making) quickly turned into many. I’ve always loved learning new skills, so over time I’ve explored everything from candle making and soap crafting to lino printing, fused glass, and pottery painting. For me, it’s all about the process of making—there’s something incredibly satisfying about creating something home made and being proud to say "I made that!".

I love seeing people try something new, especially when they don’t think of themselves as “creative.” Watching that shift—from hesitation to confidence—is honestly the best part of what I do. My workshops are all about making creativity feel accessible, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve worked with a wide range of people, from individuals looking to try something different to groups and teams wanting a more hands-on, memorable experience. I’ve taught hundreds of participants across my workshops, and no two sessions are ever the same.

One thing people often don’t realise is just how versatile and therapeutic these crafts can be. Whether it’s pouring a candle, carving a print, or painting pottery, there’s a real sense of slowing down and switching off—which feels more important than ever.
