Our DIY Workshops
FAQs
Absolutely NOT! Our workshops provide instruction in a relaxed environment. Just bring your DIY attitude a creative mind and a willingness to learn and you will create a project you will be proud of!
We absolutely try too! Our workshops are suitable from age 6 to adults. We do have options for younger children too.
We also try to cater for those with additional needs as we believe everyone can take part! If you would like further information with what’s involved and how it can be adapted for you, send us an email hive.thetwistedknot@gmail.com

The length of each workshop depends on the type of workshop booked in. However the typical workshop lasts 2-3 hours.
Due to time and limited places on our workshops, we limit each person to creating one project at a time during a scheduled workshop. Our workshops take approximately 2-3 hours. On quieter times, you may be able to do more than one but we don’t recommend it on your first visit!
Your wood base, vinyl with your design, stains and paints are all included in the price of the project. You will be guided through the whole process by a member of the Team.
Prices vary depending on which project you choose. They begin at £18 for a 30cm board and can go up to £45 for a slatted clock or a height ruler/1200x200mm sign. A complete custom design will have a £5 design fee too!
Weekends, school holidays and peak times (run up to Christmas) we recommend that you book to ensure you’re not disappointed! Weekdays, you are more than welcome to drop into our workshop at The Hive. If it is a larger group, please contact us as a private party booking!
Ultimately, if you know when you want to come, let us know!! 😉
