Nest is a boutique gift shop brand in Leicestershire. We love supporting local brands and craftspeople, and well as stocking gifts from the best and most contemporary UK small brands.
We have a lovely space in Sapcote, Leicestershire which provides a base from which our workshops are done. We have a background in creating, curating and designing products and supporting a space for new ideas and creativity to flow from, for everyone to enjoy, so this feels like a natural next step.
We are starting with Indian Block Printing which is a wonderful traditional craft with centuries of heritage behind it, yet it is unbelievably contemporary, in both design and ethos. It’s an easy craft to lose yourself in, and best still, anyone can do it and achieve beautiful results. We will be offering stand alone workshops, weekly workshops and group bookings, extending to parties.
Creativity, and time beyond our busy lives, improves mental health. It can be a space to find new friends, or a space to join with friends… and we want to provide a space to be free of worry and a pause from the everyday.. come and create with us.
Nest founder, Samantha, runs the workshops. She has a First Class Degree in Design and has taught art in schools and universities for 30 years.
