Join this playful tote bag painting workshop in Edinburgh and create a wearable piece of art.
Step inside a real working artist’s studio to design your own personalised tote bag in this fun, beginner-friendly experience. Using fabric paints, you'll do more than just paint – you'll design, stamp, layer, and stencil to build a bag that is truly one-of-a-kind. You'll have the chance to experiment with marks, textures, and patterns to create depth, contrast, and personality.
Whether you want to go bold and graphic, soft and abstract, or sleek and stylish, the choice is yours. If you're looking for a spark of inspiration, you won't be left staring at a blank canvas. You'll have access to a curated inspiration board filled with visual prompts and references to help guide your creative process.
Throughout the session, you'll discover different tools and techniques that allow you to add dimension and character to your piece. From stamping and stencilling to subtle material details, you'll find plenty of ways to make your tote stand out. Surrounded by creative energy, you'll enjoy the process of turning an everyday object into something expressive and tactile.
You'll finish the class with a hand-designed tote bag that feels like a unique story you get to carry, leaving you with a newfound sense of artistic confidence.

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.
