The Craft Bar

A relaxed, adult-focused creative experience

What Is the Craft Bar?

The Craft Bar at The Curious Owl is a calm, creative space designed for adults who want time, freedom and beautiful materials to make something they actually love.

Book a two-hour session, choose your project, and settle in. This is self-led creativity with friendly support on hand. No rushing, no pressure, and no noisy chaos. Just good materials, thoughtful guidance, and space to enjoy the process.

We use high-quality paints, surfaces and embellishments, chosen with adults in mind. The result? A creative experience that feels considered, satisfying and a little bit special.

Older children aged 12-16 are welcome to craft alongside a crafting adult.

How It Works

  1. Book your 2-hour time slot
    Sessions must be booked in advance so you can enjoy a relaxed, unhurried experience.

  2. Choose what you’d like to make
    From painting and decorating to mixed-media projects, you’re free to pick what inspires you on the day.

  3. Settle in and create
    Work at your own pace using premium materials, with friendly guidance available whenever you need it.

This is creativity on your terms. No step-by-step pressure, just support when you want it.
