Something to look forward to!
-
From January, Emily will be starting a series of two-session, absolute beginner, ring-carving workshops!
-
In the first session, you'll have 3 hours to shape and size your wax band. After this first workshop, the wax will be posted off to the casting company, cast in silver and posted back again in time for workshop number 2! This session will be for finishing up the silver: cutting, filing and polishing!
-
Head to The Colour Factory website to book!
-
If the dates available don't work for you, drop us a message! If you'd prefer a one-day workshop, drop us a message! Workshop vouchers instead of committing to a date? Drop us a message!

Each class takes careful planning: from preparing inspirational material to gathering tools. We want to make sure we give you the best experience possible!

Hello - Emily here! Popping in with a little TCF history!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who knows how this glorious little organisation came to be?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Colour Factory started out 26 years years ago in a tiny building, by the railway station, with 3 creatives doing their creative thing. 10 years later, the little collective moved to where we are now and has continued to grow, welcoming in a number of additional artistic folk. The space, an opportunity for people like us to grow, in a creative environment, to nurture their passion/skill/business, all while sharing their knowledge and skill to those willing to learn. What a fabulous place to be, and how lucky are we that those original 3 creatives had such an idea!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does anyone remember the building from before The Colour Factory? We'd love to see pictures and hear some stories!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Enjoying some ‘plein air’ sketching in our lovely studio garden. Wrap up warm and take some paper or a sketch book outdoors for a quick half hour session - we snuck a cup of tea too! We just had a pot of ink, a paintbrush and a few sticks from the garden to draw with. Have fun making marks on paper and don’t worry too much about the outcome it’s the doing..the looking... and just being that matters ... and breathe!
