Creative art & craft workshops

Not sure what you want to make — just that you feel like making something? The Deckle Edge regularly hosts creative workshops covering an ever-changing mix of art and craft techniques. One week you might be experimenting with watercolours, the next learning printmaking, calligraphy, drawing or an entirely new medium you’ve never tried before. Led by artists and makers who know their craft, the workshops are a low-pressure way to get off your screen, try something new and rediscover the simple pleasure of making things with your hands.

BEFORE YOU GO
The workshop programme changes throughout the year, so check the upcoming events rather than arriving expecting a particular class. Most workshops are suitable for beginners, but experience levels, materials and what’s included vary by session. Spaces are usually limited and some workshops sell out, so booking ahead is recommended. The bonus? You’re already inside one of Cape Town’s best-loved art-supply stores if your new hobby turns into an obsession.
