What it takes to build a community café…
Paint on hands. Dust in the air.
Sanding, de-nailing, degreasing.
Lifting, shifting, sorting.
People showing up. Again and again.
This is what “community” looks like — not just ideas, but action. Time, care, graft, lots of biscuits yet surprisingly few brew breaks in between!

We’re building something together here, and every bit of effort matters.

Thank you to everyone who’s mucked in so far and being part of this story. Check out 'what's on' page for upcoming muck-in sessions or get on touch to arrange another time

Testing out our brand new MakeDo kit, we’ll be experimenting with cardboard using child-safe cardboard saws and screws. Come along and build the cardboard city of your dreams… There will also be a quieter making space involving some drawing and collaging.

Join Illustrator Charlotte Done on a journey through portals of creativity to the making zone as part of our pilot taster workshop series.

Friday 23rd January 2-4pm

BOOK: https://www.goodthingscollective.co.uk/service-page/portals-to-the-creative-zone?referral=service_list_widget

We know that being creative is good for our wellbeing, but why?
In this workshop we’ll be contemplating how the creative process occurs and how to best get into the Creative Zone.

We’ll be mulling over how our brains work and what happens in there, when we’re being creative, with some explorative drawings and collages.

You’ll be supplied with everything you need for these fun experiments. We’ll also have a go at making a fun framed portal of your creative muse to inspire you along your way.

So if you’re a regular creative or you’re new to the game and don’t know where to start.....Come along to our community co-working studios and get a taste of the art that happens at Good Things.

You’re welcome to arrive early or stay late to make full use of the studio space during the co-working session, available from 1:30–5:30pm.

Accessibility Information:
The studio is on the ground floor and accessed via three steps with a handrail.
Toilets are located either up one flight of stairs or down three steps at the rear of the building.

Pieces of Nature with Hazel Leech
Friday 16th January 2-4pm
Part of our 'Art Is For Everyone' workshop series.
BOOK: https://www.goodthingscollective.co.uk/booking-calendar/pieces-of-nature-with-hazel-leech

Join Hazel for a hands-on workshop in our community co-working studios, using natural materials to create celebratory sculptures that welcome in the New Year.

Photos show examples of Hazel’s previous work, created outdoors locally and while travelling and exploring landscapes across the UK. These sculptures are temporary by design — blowing away, weathering, or decomposing naturally over time.

For this workshop, Hazel has collected, gathered and preserved a wide range of natural materials including seedheads, branches and leaves, for you to experiment and create with in the warmth of our studios. You are also warmly invited to bring along your own materials if you wish. Hazel will share a range of methods and techniques to bind, join, weave and sculpt materials into forms but you will also be encouraged to experiuement and discover your own ways.

The creative session runs from 2–4pm, offering time to explore different materials and techniques in a relaxed, supportive environment. Simply ring the doorbell to the right of the entrance to unleash your creativity and make Good Things happen.

You’re welcome to arrive early or stay late to make full use of the studio space during the co-working session, available from 1:30–5:30pm.

Accessibility Information:
The studio is on the ground floor and accessed via three steps with a handrail.
