Share the fun – Arts and crafts in the peaceful Fens
Poplar Arts and Crafts, set in the open Fen landscape, is a place where you can join like minded people in a wide range of arts and crafts and other relaxing activities.
Come and enjoy workshops that give you the opportunity to learn new skills, or retreats that allow you to indulge in activities you love in a relaxed atmosphere. Being guided by the workshop tutor is fun, but exchanging thoughts and ideas with other participants is also a big part of the experience. Creative inspiration can be found from the most unexpected sources – from big skies to tiny petals, a chance remark by someone or a waft of perfume from a flower – having the time to develop these ideas can be really valuable and so rewarding. If there is a particular activity you would like to do which is not on the list, please contact me and I will see if it is something I can organise. Workshops can be arranged for special celebrations, with group bookings welcomed.
Share the fun – Arts and crafts in the peaceful Fens
After an intense working life of running multiple small businesses, the enforced period of inactivity during the pandemic finally gave me the thinking time to really consider ‘what next’. My lifetime involvement in music and crafts seemed to be a very compelling direction to take, and I love being able to share my enthusiasm for these activities.
It is easy to underestimate the value of being able to switch off from the world for a short while, to focus on an activity and let the wide open spaces of the Fens work their magic. No-one escapes periods of difficulty in their lives, but finding ways of dealing with that are vital. For me, being able to lose myself in playing and listening to music, or the rhythm of spinning and weaving, has been essential to my survival in the last few years.
