This hands-on family craft workshop is inspired by life beneath the sea and is perfect for children and adults who love creativity, ocean worlds, and imaginative making.
During this immersive book nook making workshop, families will paint, build, and decorate a detailed miniature under-the-sea scene designed to slot perfectly between books on a shelf — a beautiful ocean-themed book nook to display at home.
Your finished underwater book nook may include: - Mermaids swimming through the scene - Colourful tropical fish darting between corals - Floating jellyfish with soft glowing details - Coral reefs and sea plants in vibrant colours - Seashells, bubbles, and ocean textures

Our friendly, experienced tutor will guide you step by step through the entire process — from painting your deep-sea background to assembling your book nook structure, adding miniature details, and installing the lights.
