At The Curious Owl, everyone’s welcome — no matter your age, experience, or how “arty” you think you are.
This is a safe, non-judgmental space to try something new, have a laugh, and rediscover the joy of being creative.
Whether you’re here for your kids, with your friends, or just for yourself, our workshops are about fun, not perfection.
You’ll go home with something you’ve made (and a little more sparkle in your day).
At The Curious Owl, creativity is for everyone. From messy, magical fun for kids to mindful escapes for grown-ups, our workshops are designed to bring joy, laughter, and connection.
Kids Crafty Parties – Fun, creative birthday parties where kids can make something amazing and take it home to treasure.
Hen Parties – Celebrate in style with laughter, creativity and your very own handmade keepsakes.
Paint & Sip Nights – Grab your friends, a glass of something, and unleash your inner artist.
Adult Craft Workshops – Relax, switch off and create — from jewellery to candle-making and beyond.
Kids’ Craft Club – Weekly sessions packed with cool projects that build confidence and spark imagination.
We know that art and craft spaces can sometimes feel intimidating — but not here.
Inclusivity – whoever you are, you’re welcome.
Fun first – laughter and creativity are the perfect antidote to life’s stress.
Supportive atmosphere – we guide, encourage, and cheer each other on.
Joy over perfection – it’s not about being “good at art”, it’s about enjoying the process.
At The Curious Owl, creativity is at the heart of everything we do. Founded by Emma Winter and based at The Studio @ 12a in Hull City Centre, our workshops and parties are designed to spark imagination, boost confidence, and bring people together.
We believe crafting isn’t just about making things—it’s about connection, relaxation, and joy. Whether it’s a child proudly showing off their handmade creation, friends laughing together at a paint and sip night, or a hen party making keepsakes for the big day, our sessions are all about shared experiences.
With small, welcoming groups and step-by-step guidance, everyone feels supported—total beginners included. We provide all the materials, a friendly atmosphere, and plenty of encouragement so you can relax, get creative, and enjoy the process.
Whether you’re booking a party, joining a class, or just curious about what’s coming up, we’d love to welcome you.
I’m Emma, the founder of The Curious Owl.
I started this because I know how powerful creativity can be — it builds confidence, relieves stress, and lets people be their authentic selves. My mission is simple: to make creativity accessible, joyful, and welcoming for everyone.
So, whether you’re a total beginner, a dabbler, or a lifelong maker — pull up a chair. You belong here.
