  • 5/5 from Asima Asghar, attended Jul 2025: Cindy was super helpful and attentive from the start to end! She talked us through each step with patience and was there to support us during slightly tricker steps. Amazing class, 100% would recommend! We will be returning for more classes
  • 4/5 from Lindsay Atkins, attended Jul 2025: I haven't done the class yet as my daughter was ill so we were unable to attend. The teacher was very accommodating and allowed me to change to another date at short notice. We are excited to attend and will be making a keychain if our one eyed cat, Minnie.
  • 5/5 from Shav Peynado, attended Jun 2025: A Purr-fectly Fun Shrink Plastic Workshop! I recently attended a Shrink Plastic Workshop and had an amazing time making a custom cat keychain of my pet! The session was both creative and educational - I learned how to draw and color on shrink plastic, which was surprisingly easy and allowed for lots of personalisation. Cindy explained the process really clearly: after drawing and coloring, we watched as the shrink plastic magically reduced in size and thickened when we used a heat gun - it was fascinating to see how much the plastic changed! The final step was assembling the keychain from scratch, including attaching the loops and clips (I believe that’s what they’re called) to create a sturdy, functional accessory. The workshop was so much fun! I left with a unique keepsake and a new appreciation for crafting with shrink plastic. Highly recommend for anyone who loves crafting!

This is Cindy, an illustrator as well as a store owner at Leeds Corn Exchange. Our store - "chillchillcats goodies" was at Leeds Kirkgate Market perviously and used to support independent makers by promoting their craft products. We also created some art exhibitions at that space. When we moved to Corn Exchange, we would like to continues what we were doing along with some crafty workshops by different independent tutors. Allow people to unleash their imagination and bring ideas to life by learning crafty technique and skill.
