Hand-building in clay, willow basket-making, and botanical drawing are just a few of the creative pursuits awaiting you at Deepwell Arts, located at Hunsdon House Garden School in Headington, Oxford. This arts and crafts venture, founded by Frances Deepwell, is dedicated to fostering wellbeing and social connection through the joy of making.

The emphasis is on experiencing the artistic process and developing new skills in a welcoming environment.

Keep an eye on their schedule for a variety of adult workshops, including terracotta pottery, creative doodling, and even guidance on selling your art online.
