Emily and Emma - professional makers with almost 50 years experience between us. Clothes, costumes, props and puppets, we may even have inspired your children over the last 10 years of Creativity Clubs!
-
Emily is calm, precise and information led.
Emma is playful and creates based on feelings and experience.
Between us we cover most bases and can make almost anything!
-
This may be your first foray into creativity for wellbeing, or you may be a seasoned sewist or maker with no time or room for 2 whole days of creating. Either way we will guide and encourage in just the right amount…
-
You decide if you’d prefer to sew your own body (we have straight stitch and overlocker machines available to use), or whether you’d like us to prep you a doll so you can concentrate on face, hair, clothes and embellishments.
Whichever you choose you will have the time, space and materials to be self-directed as much as you wish.
10.30am-4.30pm both days with refreshments always available. Plus a vegetarian lunch served buffet style so you can take it when you need it.

Chandos Atelier is on the much loved Chandos Road in Bristol BS6.
We will have the use of 2 workrooms set over 2 floors only accessible via stairs. There is a big dining room with access to a beautiful courtyard garden if the weather is on our side. A kitchen area with tea and coffee making facilities, plus a lounge room with great natural light if you prefer to stitch in a comfy chair!
This is a really special building with art and creativity at it’s heart - the perfect place to immerse yourself in making.
