Step into the festive season with a slow, mindful craft evening in Brighton where you’ll learn to create your own beautiful woven seagrass basket. This is a grounding, tactile process that connects us to traditional craft and natural materials. The repetitive rhythm of weaving invites calm and focus, offering a peaceful pause in the bustle of the season.
Guided step-by-step, this beginner-friendly workshop is the perfect way to relax, connect, and make something natural and meaningful -- whether for your home or as a handmade Christmas gift.
Fun fact: Seagrass weaving has been practised for centuries to create functional, beautiful objects that last. Each basket is unique, carrying the maker’s personal touch.
What to expect:
  • You'll weave a handcrafted seagrass basket that's uniquely yours, using natural materials.
  • Take away a printed guide to continue weaving at home!
  • Shared fries to enjoy together.
  • A warm and welcoming festive atmosphere to get creative.
  • Doors open at 5:45pm, so you can grab a drink and settle in.
You'll take away your finished basket to cherish for years to come or ready to gift to a loved one, plus the skills to carry on weaving.

I’m Claire, a yoga teacher, sound healer and artist based in Brighton & Hove. After leaving a fast-paced career in finance, I created The Flying Bear as a space where creativity and wellbeing come together.
My art and craft classes use simple, hands-on making as a form of meditation. Working with your hands invites you to slow down, breathe and reconnect with yourself. The process is playful and grounding, helping to ease stress, spark joy and restore balance.
The workshops are open to all, no experience needed. You’ll leave with something you’ve made and, more importantly, with the calm and quiet satisfaction that comes from mindful creativity.
