If you’re planning a birthday party, hen party, social gathering, or looking for a different way to spend time with friends, The Opaque Elephant offers creative workshops designed to bring people together in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Perfect for:
Birthday celebrations
Hen parties
Seasonal gatherings
Friends’ evenings
Creative socials
Housewarming parties
Every workshop is designed and delivered by a qualified teacher with over ten years of experience creating engaging and inclusive experiences, ensuring everyone feels comfortable taking part, regardless of artistic experience.
I’ll be taking bookings from September 2026. Please note that these workshops are only suitable for groups of adults.
Accessible
Creativity should be for everyone. My workshops are beginner-friendly, brought to you, and made with everyone in mind.
Reflective
Creative workshops and activities give us a chance to connect with ourselves, share life experiences and develop our curiosity.
Playful
I create spaces where people are encouraged to experiment, embrace happy accidents, and enjoy the process.
Many of my workshops work beautifully as private experiences between friends. If you’re looking for something new to do with your friends, a quirky addition to a celebration, or a creative way to mark a milestone, there’s probably something for you.
Pricing
Every celebration is different, so prices vary depending on group size, travel, and the number of activities you want.
To help with planning, typical single workshop bookings start at £210 for up to 10 participants.
Larger groups and longer celebrations can usually be accommodated, and I’m always happy to discuss tailoring a creative celebration experience to suit your needs.
Areas Covered
I’m based in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, and have delivered workshops for community organisations in Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Hucknall, as well as other workshops in Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield, and Derbyshire.
For large groups or special events, I’m happy to travel beyond Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. If you’re unsure whether I cover your area, please get in touch.
Why Choose a Creative Party?
Creative workshops offer something a little diferent from the usual celebration activities for adults. You’ll leave with shared memories, meaningful conversations and something you’ve created yourselves.
From calm and mindful activities, cathartic workshops perfect for life transitions, empowering body-positive experiences, or playful creative sessions, workshops can be adjusted to suit the atmosphere you’re looking for.
