Armfullness – Festive Giant Blanket Arm Knitting Workshop

Sun, Nov 29 at 6:30 PM – 8.30PM

Experience Armfullness at Delamere Station house — a grounding, hands-on workshop where slow stitching meets deep calm. Forget knitting needles. We’re making giant blankets using nothing but our arms! You’ll get a huge 2kg ball of super chunky vegan yarn and I’ll show you how to turn it into a beautiful, snuggly blanket. You don’t need any experience at all. If you can move your arms, you can do this. The best bit isn’t even the blanket. It’s spending a couple of hours switching off, having a laugh, chatting to lovely people and getting completely absorbed in making something with your own hands. People always surprise themselves with what they create, and there’s something really satisfying about walking away wrapped up in a blanket you’ve made from a single ball of yarn. Come on your own or bring a friend. Either way, you’ll leave with a giant blanket, a head that’s a bit quieter and probably a few new people to say hello to next time. Price includes:

  • A Christmassy hot drink
  • A 2kg giant ball of vegan yarn worth £45
  • Step-by-step tuition
  • Your own giant 2kg blanket to take home
  • A relaxed, friendly atmosphere with plenty of laughs along the way

Once you’ve booked I will email you with colour choices so you can choose your own colour.

Cosy Christmas Arty Evening

Sun, Dec 13 at 6:30 PM – 8.30 PM

🎄 Join us for a gently festive Arty Evening as we take some time for ourselves during this busy period of the year.

Step into our special space – Delamere Station House – as we welcome you to just be you. No expectations, ever. No judgement. No need to be anyone but you. Come as you are. Never picked up a paintbrush? You’re so welcome here.

Paint your own Christmas gift tags.

Enjoy a special evening for yourself, then share what you’ve created with your loved ones. Personally… I believe there’s nothing more special than receiving something homemade, even if it doesn’t look as good as a bought one.

Never painted before? No problem! Saz will walk you through every step and gently encourage you throughout the evening.

Our Arty Evenings are relaxing, Saz focuses on the process, not the outcome. It doesn’t matter if you create a masterpiece or not…

It’s not about the Art..

It’s about taking some time for yourself, unwinding, putting yourself first for once. Two hours of getting lost in watercolour paint strokes.
Art is therapeutic, it doesn’t need to look a certain way to help you feel good.

During this evening, we will be learning different brush strokes to create our own gift tags. Choose from a variety of different options, or do your own thing – Express yourself! Saz will help you as much as you need, she walks round and guides you throughout the process. We will start the evening with a short meditation to help ground us. Don’t worry if you’ve never meditated before, or can’t turn your brain off. Take a few moments to listen to Saz as she guides you through a visualisation, inspired by the calm side of the festive season. Come with friends, or alone. Leave happier and connected. A beautiful evening, guaranteed. Spaces are limited, so please book early where possible. Tickets are £30pp, which includes a homemade cake, and handcrafted drink. To book, please follow this link:
