Choose floristry experiences for your nature-loving Mum

If your Mum loves nothing more than spending hours tending to her garden or filling her house with beautiful blooms, she’s definitely going to love one of our Birmingham floristry workshops. Rather than presenting her with a bunch of pre-wrapped flowers, give her the opportunity to get creative and immerse herself in nature at the same time – she’ll learn some fresh skills and get to take home some fresh flowers as well. Now that’s a win-win!

If she’s passionate about perennials and the planet, she’ll love our eco-friendly introduction to floristry class. On this extra special five week course, she’ll get to grips with a variety of different floral design techniques, all with a sustainable approach; from buttonhole flowers and hand tied bouquets to floral wreaths, she’ll come away with a wealth of floristry skills and some beautiful floral arrangements for her home.

Alternatively, keep it simple and head off to a creative spring wreath making workshop together instead. Led by expert florist Claire of Amber Jean Flowers, you’ll get to spend some quality time together surrounded by beautiful blossoms, gorgeous foliage and plenty of natural embellishments. It’s the perfect way to welcome spring and show mum how much you care!

If bling’s her thing, Mum will adore a jewellery making class

Does your super stylish Mum love her accessories? Whether she’s a fan of all things sparkly or she likes to keep it sleek and simple, why not treat her to a jewellery making class this mothers day, so she can learn to make her own DIY earrings, bracelets and necklaces?

If she’s a fan of classic, understated pieces, she’ll love a silversmithing activity in Birmingham, where she’ll discover all the techniques needed to make her own beautiful handcrafted jewellery. Led by an experienced crafter, she’ll learn how to make earrings, a charm and a pendant from silver clay, and finish them to perfection by firing and polishing.

For Mums who like their handmade jewellery a little more colourful, a stained glass art jewellery making course will tick all the boxes this mothers day. A truly special experience gift, this two day course will teach your favourite lady how to make several different pieces of handcrafted jewellery from stained glass art. She’ll learn all about painting techniques, chemical processes and finishing tips, and will come away with a huge set of new skills and ten pieces of handmade jewellery. It’s the ideal gift experience for Mum in Birmingham if she’s looking to get super creative in the city!

Let Mum unwind with a soothing pottery class

It’s creative, it’s calming and it’ll keep Mum in bespoke coffee cups – it’s pottery, of course! Whether you think she needs a little time to relax, or she’s a handmade ceramics fan who’d like to design her own dinnerware, one of our pottery classes will definitely put a smile on her face this mothering sunday!

If she’s a complete beginner, why not opt for a simple but fun hand building ceramic making activity in Birmingham with our mothers day floral garden pottery workshop? Using air dry clay, Mum will learn all the traditional handbuilding pottery making techniques, from rolling coils and patting slabs to pinching pots. Led by a professional potter, she’ll spend a happy afternoon building, shaping and moulding beautiful florals, before mounting them on a clay slab to display.

If she’s already a bit of a clay making pro, let her leave the pottery wheel behind and explore something completely new with our terrazzo casting pottery workshop. She’ll learn all about colourful terrazzo and the pouring techniques used to create beautiful homewares and will have the opportunity to create gorgeous coasters, matchstick pots and candle holders to take home at the end of the craft class.

Is Mum a creative connoisseur looking for her next new hobby? If she’s already perfected her handmade pottery techniques, cracked candle making and mastered macrame knots, it’s time to think outside the box. Luckily, we’ve got some super cool and on-trend craft classes that will let her explore new creative worlds this mothers day!

If your favourite lady is into textile design, we think she’ll love our exciting tufting workshop in the heart of the city. Led by her talented teacher, she’ll learn how to turn her own cool design into a unique piece of fibre art using a tufting gun and colourful yarn – from cushions and rugs to mirrors and handbags, there’s a whole world of fluffy possibilities to explore!

For something a little more natural, send Mum off to learn the gentle art of woodworking from a local artisan at a two day kitchen utensil woodworking course. She’ll spend two relaxing days discovering how to carve wood into utensils, sand them down and finish to a professional standard. With all woodworking tools, equipment, and more importantly refreshments, provided, all she needs to bring is herself and her creative spark – it’s the ideal gift experience for Mums in Birmingham who’d like to escape the busy city and switch off!
