Sock Monster Making Class

WELCOME:
Join us for a delightful and relaxing afternoon of calm creativity and connection at The Correll Kitchen.

The Correll Kitchen is the welcoming family home of two inspirational founders who believe in the power of creativity to build meaningful connections and find calm. It's a place where we open our doors on evenings and weekends to share these skills and values with you. At the heart of each event lies a captivating creative activity, offering participants the chance to acquire new skills while getting to know fellow attendees.

THE CREATIVITY:
Get ready to unleash your inner child to create a whimsical and adorable stuffed sock monster!

We provide all the materials and guidance you need to transform old, colourful socks into charming stuffed creatures. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a beginner, you'll learn or enhance your hand-stitching techniques to create adorable stuffed animals using old colourful socks. There is nothing off limits to inject your creativity giving these guys a unique personality.

Upcycling: Have colourful socks that are no longer in use or ones with holes? Bring them along to upcycle into your very own sock monster or contribute to our sustainable supply of materials!

THE CALM:
Crafting and creativity are just one part of our gathering.

Creative activities are a great way to focus your mind and escape from everyday stresses. To maximise the mental health effects of creating, every Correll Kitchen event commences with a serene session of guided meditation, breathwork, and gentle stretching. When the weather invites us, these activities will take place in our garden. Nature is a serene escape where you are invited to relax among the plants, savour freshly picked snacks, or bask in the warmth of our fire pit.

THE COMMUNITY:
It is our belief that food is central to building community. The hosts curate a delectable seasonal meal of small plates, fresh bread and local produce, complemented by a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Part of the Correll Kitchen’s community are two dogs; a small Dachshund and a Dalmatian. They are both filled with personality and will want to meet you, investigate what you're doing, and politely (and sometimes not so politely) ask for a treat.

THE DETAILS:
Come solo or bring a friend, and let's craft, chat, and create lasting memories together. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to make your very own sock monsters and share in the joy of crafting with a wonderful community.

For questions or special requests, feel free to reach out to us.

TRAIN: Depending on your starting point in, you can easily get to MITCHAM EASTFIELDS via Thameslink through Blackfriars (35 min) or the fast SOUTHERN service via Balham (10 min), Clapham Junction (14 min) or Victoria (22 min). All services run every 30 minutes (when there isn’t a strike of course) and the house is a 6 minute walk from the station.

TUBE / BUS:** Mitcham is not far from the Northern Line. It is sometimes easier (especially where there are strikes or engineering works) to take the tube to either Tooting Broadway or Colliers Wood. From either station there are a range of busses (est. +12 minutes) that come to Mitcham Town Centre which is about an 8 minute walk away from the house.

CAR: If you prefer to drive to Mitcham, I trust your sat-nave will get you here safely. Once you arrive, there is plenty of unrestricted street parking at the house.

We can't wait to welcome you to The Correll Kitchen!

No prior experience required, just the openness and willingness to learn and embrace a creative, calming atmosphere.
