In this playful collage portrait workshop, you will be cutting, layering, gluing, and experimenting with colour to create a bold portrait that’s completely your own.
This fun session takes place inside a real working artist’s studio, surrounded by crafts, materials, and creative energy — the kind of space where it becomes almost impossible to keep your creativity (or your inner child) hidden away.
Using simple materials like scissors, paper, and glue, you will build a characterful face from shapes, textures, and colours — no drawing skills needed. You can create a self-portrait, capture someone you love, your pet, or design a meaningful handmade gift.
You can turn your finished piece into a thoughtful card to give to someone special or create a portrait ready to frame and keep.
You will explore colour, expression, and composition in a relaxed, social setting where perfection is not the goal — personality is. Expect laughter, creative surprises, and the freedom to make something beautifully imperfect.
By the end of the session, you will leave with a one-of-a-kind collage portrait and the joy of having created something playful, expressive, and totally unique.
Perfect for solo joiners, friends, or anyone looking for a light-hearted creative escape.

PROCRAFTINATOR
PROCRAFTINATOR

female Women-owned

Crafting has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, it was always my favourite way to have fun — making things, experimenting, creating purely for the joy of it.
Then lockdown happened.
While the world slowed down, I found myself crafting all day from my sofa, with my cat happily “helping” by chasing bits of yarn across the floor. That’s when the name of my brand was born — I was procraftinating my way through lockdown, turning time into colour, texture and creativity. I made so many earrings that I eventually opened an Instagram page to try selling a few. When lockdown ended, that tiny brand faded away, but the love for creating never did.
In Spring 2025, I decided to bring it back properly. I rebranded, designed my logo from scratch using my graphic design background, opened my online shop and began joining craft fairs across Edinburgh. By summer, I had taken the leap and opened my own cosy art studio — Procraftinating Corner — a welcoming, playful space where creativity feels easy, social and genuinely fun.
Today, this studio is a place where people come to switch off, reconnect and create something they’re proud of. Workshops are filled with colour, conversation and laughter, whether you arrive with your best friend, a group of friends, your children or simply on your own and leave having met new people along the way.
Alongside group workshops, private sessions are also available for more personal occasions such as birthdays, hen dos, baby showers, farewell celebrations, team bonding experiences and staff parties — from intimate creative moments with loved ones to bespoke sessions for corporate teams, friendship groups or families wanting dedicated time together.
Procraftinating Corner is all about creating memories as much as making beautiful things. It’s a space to relax, celebrate, meet people and rediscover your playful side — no experience needed.
Come for the crafting, stay for the joy of doing it together. I can’t wait to welcome you into the studio and create something wonderful side by side.
