This is a fun activity in Stratford, London

**Please note: We allow a 15-minute grace period after your scheduled start time. If you arrive later than this, we may no longer be able to accommodate you, as we need to begin the workshop on time for other guests. In this case, please contact us and we'll offer you a one-time opportunity to reschedule. **

Create your own adorable botanical charm using natural bean pods, dried botanicals and a huge selection of creative accessories in this delightfully quirky workshop. Every bean pod has its own unique shape, so no two of your little woodland companions will ever look quite the same.

You'll design your character from start to finish, choosing between single or double bean pods before bringing them to life with colourful yarn hair, expressive eyes, miniature glasses, fabrics, flowers, buttons and hundreds of natural decorations to pick from. Your tutor will guide you through every step, so it's a lovely, low-pressure introduction even if you've never tried anything like this before.

Once you're happy with your design, you can turn your creation into a bag charm, keychain or car charm – a one-of-a-kind keepsake to take home or give to someone special.

As a sweet finishing touch, each botanical charm keeps its original natural seed tucked inside, giving it a soft, gentle rattle every time it moves.

“I made mine specifically for my car mirror and absolutely love it. The little seed still moves around inside, so there’s a gentle rattling sound when you shake it. Such an unusual detail and definitely not something I’ve seen in other craft workshops.”

“I really liked that the pod isn’t perfectly shaped like a manufactured toy. The little imperfections are what make it cute. Mine had a slightly crooked shape, so I worked that into the character and somehow it ended up looking even better. The natural materials give it a completely different feel from a normal plush charm.”

“The class was super cute and chill, we arrived a little early so Manha went through the set up and was extremely friendly. We had a lovely chat about her work and how much she enjoys what she does and she listened to me babble on with no complaints. She was patient and allowed us to have our space whilst still checking in every now and then to see if we would like any support, I felt very comfortable as did my sister who was there for her birthday. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants some downtime and to explore their creative freedom.”

“I made mine as a present rather than for myself and the recipient absolutely loved it. Because you choose all the details yourself, it feels much more personal than buying a normal keychain from a shop. I'm already thinking of making another one for Christmas.”

“Loved the sustainability aspect of creating something decorative from seed pods and botanical materials. It made the workshop feel different from typical craft classes that rely mostly on plastic pieces. The natural imperfections are actually what give each character its charm.”

“I'm normally quite indecisive at craft workshops because there are too many choices, but the tutor was great at helping me narrow down my ideas without taking over the design. My finished character actually looked like what I had imagined, which was very satisfying.”

“I brought my niece and she was completely absorbed for the whole hour. There were enough materials and decorations for her to keep experimenting, and the tutor was very patient when she changed her mind about ten times! We both left very happy with our creations.”

“Such a sweet idea for a date. We spent most of the session laughing at the personalities our little pod characters gradually developed. Much more interactive and memorable than just going for drinks or dinner.”
