Fancy doing something a little different in the lead-up to Christmas?

Come and join me at the Crafty Chook studio in Pāpāmoa for a relaxed afternoon of creativity, a little Christmas cheer and some festive making!

We’ll start by creating your very own scented Christmas candle, then bring it all together with beautiful greenery and festive touches to make a Christmas table centrepiece you’ll be proud to take home.

No experience needed — just come along, enjoy the afternoon and make something beautiful. All materials are provided.

Upcoming workshops:

Saturday 7 November – Places available

Saturday 14 November – SOLD OUT!

Saturday 21 November – Places available

Workshops are held in small groups at my home studio in Pāpāmoa, so places are limited.

Come on your own, bring a friend or make it a little pre-Christmas outing together.

I’d love to welcome you!

A little Christmas magic, made by you. 🎄

There’s something special about slowing down at Christmas, getting creative and making something beautiful with your own hands.

Pour your own Christmas-scented candle, get creative with festive greenery and botanicals, and bring it all together into a beautiful centrepiece to take home and enjoy throughout the festive season.

A little creativity, a little Christmas cheer, and something lovely to share around your table.

Whether you come with a friend or simply treat yourself to a little time out, we’d love to welcome you into the Crafty Chook studio.

Crafty Chook | Curating the feeling of home.

11/10/2026

I’ve always believed that we shouldn’t have to wait for a special occasion to enjoy the beautiful things in life.

Use the good glasses. Light the candle. Pick a few flowers from the garden. Make your morning coffee feel like a little ritual.

Because sometimes it’s the smallest things that make a house feel like home.

Recently, a lovely customer told me that our posts had inspired her to start making more of her everyday moments special. Even something as simple as pouring her lemonade into a ch*****ne glass.

And I just loved that.

Because that’s really what Crafty Chook is about for me.

It’s not just about making candles or filling a room with beautiful fragrance.

It’s about creating a home you love being in, finding joy in the everyday and remembering that we don’t need a special occasion to make life feel a little more beautiful.

After all, isn’t every day worth celebrating?
