Whimsical Creatives

Whimsical Creatives Specialising in Art, Craft & Jewellery Making Supplies & Workshops for almost 20 years Welcome to Whimsical Creatives (previously The Whimsical Bead).

I’m Dani – Artist, Owner & Director of Creativity. Here at Whimsical Creatives, we offer a range of creative supplies and workshops for all ages and skill levels. Our focus is to provide our customers, both online and in person, with unique, high-quality products, exceptional customer service and an experience they won’t forget – for all the right reasons – whilst supporting and encouraging their

creativity. As an artist myself, I am passionate about bringing high quality, tried and tested and innovative products to creatives, as well as sharing my knowledge and helping people get in touch with or expand on their creativity and creative skills. We have a treasure trove of over 1500 products available in store and online with new stock arriving all the time. You’ll feel like a kid in a candy store! Our exclusive range of handmade art & jewellery (available in store only) make beautiful and unique gifts. Do you want to unleash (or find!) your creativity? Are you looking to try something new? Want to be more social, meet new people or need a break from the stress of everyday life? Need something for the kids to do? Or perhaps all of the above? We can help! For almost 20 years we have offered full day, half day and mini workshops in a variety of art mediums. Professionally led by experienced and passionate tutors in our fully equipped, light-filled workshop space, all our sessions are designed for comfort, inspiration and inclusion, no matter your age, personality or skill level. I suffer from multiple chronic illnesses and have first-hand experience that art can be wonderful therapy for many stresses. We offer digital tutorials, private creative birthday parties for adults & kids, homeschooling sessions, hen’s parties, team building sessions, plus more! Our kids workshops always have someone on site with a Diploma in Children’s Services, Working with Children Check and Level 2 First Aid & Asthma Management certification. Over the years, we have built a wonderful little community of students and for many (including myself), the Studio has become a ‘safe haven’, a place to ‘get away from it all’ or simply just an escape from the chaos of everyday life. We also try to extend this community to our online channels via our newsletters and social media. I’m so pleased that you’ve found Whimsical Creatives. We are coming up to 19 years in business which is because of the support from people like yourself, so thank you! We look forward to helping you explore your creativity and welcoming you into our Whimsical community – whether that be in person or digitally. My inbox is always open so please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have (or to just say hello!),

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you have. We’d love to hear from you! Happy Creating,
- Dani xx

Are you a polymer clayer who is wanting to level up your skills?
Come and join me this Sunday when I’ll be teaching my Multicoloured Mokume class for the last time (for at least a year).

You’ll not only learn this mokume technique but also learn about creating and using coloured gradients. I’ll also show you how to incorporate black and white into these stacks/veneers to make the colours ‘pop’.

You will learn how to create polymer clay beads and components from your newly made pattern sheet ready for jewellery making.

Dont miss out!
This is a great workshop for learning some new techniques for your Christmas markets and presents that stand out from the crowd.

Bookings and more details via the website or just reach out we’ll be happy to help you.

Our retail shop is also open all weekend.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came and visited us today for our plaster painting drop in session. We were so busy I only had a chance to take two photos at the end of the day!!

Once again I was blown away by the turnout and really am so grateful to you all for your support. I hope you enjoyed your time here in the studio.
To those who had a little wait during our busy times, thank you for being so patient.

Our Drop-In Sessions will continue to be run monthly if not twice per month depending on demand. Whilst we try to run a plaster painting session monthly, we do offer other activities too. All our workshops and drop-in sessions are listed online so be sure to check out the website regularly as we are always adding new things.

We had quite a few birthday party enquiries today which was lovely. YES! We absolutely do offer birthday parties and private events. Please reach out if you’d like more information or you can download our guide via the website (on the workshop home page).

Thank you once again and we hope to see you again in the near future 😊

Do you need some ‘me time? Maybe some mindfulness or creative time without any pressure? Or perhaps you’re looking for a new hobby without having to purchase lots of supplies or have a lot of space?
Our graphic arts workshops are perfect for all these things and best of all, there is no experience required - beginners are welcomed and encouraged.

Two of these are being held this Saturday 8th August - come to one or join us for both, the choice is yours.
