Happy Origami Workshop

Anjum Misbahuddin

Really enjoyed class. Good value. Friendly teacher.
Maybe would be good to know a little more about what you would be making in advance. Will do another class I'm sure.

Debra Pring

Wow! This was fantastic from the second Toshi came down to show us to the—wonderfully decorated—room, to the last show-and-tell of our creations. Toshi guided us through the techniques, and the group quickly developed a camaraderie such that those of us who came on our own were quickly taken along in the atmosphere of helping each other as a group. Toshi worked in a way that suited each person’s pace and ability, so it was enjoyable for everyone. I loved it, and have booked again for December 6. (A quick mention also to the Snooty Fox—the venue—for their warm welcome.)

Brett M

Fantastic course - the time just flew by! Presenter was very welcoming and accepting of our tardiness! Glad we managed to get there and do the course before Christmas. Thanks! 

This is the second if Toshi’s classes I’ve attempted and it was—if possible—even better than the first 😃 There was a real team spirit amongst the participants, as we helped and encouraged each other. And left with a gorgeous triangular gift box, and poinsettia decoration. I’ve already booked for the next class. ❤️

I’m running out of superlatives for Toshi’s workshops. This is my third, and how she retains her patience when I’m sighing in the corner over a forgotten fold I don’t know. 😊 Cannot recommend the workshops highly enough. Roll on the next one!

my second Happy Origami workshop. loved it again. made a beautiful flower that I am sure I could repeat

Lia Choi

Andrea Wylde

What a lovely little origami class. Toshiko was a breath of fresh air and a kind, patient, fun teacher. The class was well-resourced and perfectly paced, with enough one-to-one attention for anyone who needed it. Toshiko was kind enough to offer extra papers to make another star at home. I'm so pleased with the results and looking forward to hanging them on my Christmas tree.

Paul Judge

Great class we both really enjoyed it and met some lovely people. Toshiko is a great teacher, very patient and didn’t even laugh at my terrible effort 😂

Issy Cole

Toshiko was a fantastic host as soon as we entered the room, her energy and passion filled the class and we had a really fun, relaxing evening making origami Christmas decorations. I can't wait to make more and share my new skill with others. Thank you Toshiko!

Lisa Castle

Toshi created a beautiful and welcoming workshop space for our origami lesson with a wide selection of colourful patterned papers to choose from. Toshi taught us two different creatures - a rabbit and a celebration crane to welcome in the new Year of the Rabbit! She demonstrated and explained the process clearly, making it easy to follow along. It was a very enjoyable afternoon, the 90 minutes flew by. Toshi is a wonderfully warm, patient and generous teacher. I would highly recommend.

As always, a fun session with Toshi. I brought a guest who ended up being better than me! Cheek of it! Will definitely be rebooking .

Marcela Krukowska

The workshop was a fantastic way to spend an evening. I've learned a lot and Toshiko was a great and enthusiastic teacher.  If time permits will happily do it again.

Rosie Richardson-Prescott

Incredible session! Toshiko was extremely patient and explained everything so well including aspects of Japanese culture. We made a beautiful flower and butterfly

Declan Sheahan-Ayre

Toshiko is a wonderful host and teacher, a perfect afternoon activity!

Davide Pintus

The location was welcoming and easy to find, the class was small and the actual lesson was in the right spot between challenging and understandable as well as a lot of fun.

Christopher Eden

I can highly recommend this. Being around 14th Feb, we made some appropriately valentine’s-themed designs and it was super-easy to do and loads of fun with the guidance that we received from Toshiko.

Make a Silver Ring Workshop with The Ringsmiths at Oxo Tower Wharf

This class is designed to provide you with the essential groundwork needed for wax carving all whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly in a relaxed, creative environment.
Carving wax gives you endless options to freely design whatever ring you want, as you are not limited to a silver wire or strip. This technique allows you to create something 3D, abstract, classic, chunky, geometric or organic, so you can let your imagination run wild!
The workshop begins with a short introduction to the lost wax process and its uses. Ros and Milena will inform you about basic tips and tricks on how to design a comfortable ring. Showing you various techniques and tools that can be used.
You will then start by designing/sketching out your ring, (samples and images will be available for inspiration) before beginning to carve your wax.
Once you’re happy with your finished carving we will show you how to complete the ring and prepare it for casting. After the class your wax carved ring will be cast, finished and polished by Ros and Milena using recycled silver. We will contact you once it’s ready for collection or we can post it out to you.
If you wish to have your ring gold plated or have your wax cast in solid gold than this will be at an additional cost and can be paid for and decided on the day.

Your finished silver ring will be ready for collection or posting within 2.5-3 weeks after the class.

Extra services such as engraving, gold plating and stone setting are offered at an additional cost. These can be requested at the end of the class. Please note these services have a lead time of 2-3 weeks on top of the casting/finishing time.

In this three hour class you will learn the basics of TIG welding on mild steel.

Starting out with an explanation on how this form of welding works, settings and parts on the machine, how to position yourself and hold the torch.
You will then have a go at striking the arc on a piece of steel, running a bead without filler rod before moving on to learning how to move and dab filler rod in to the weld puddle.

Dan will then talk you through the various types of weld joints, show you how to tack two pieces together and then run a full weld across the joint.

At this point there will be a break before you come back and have a go at welding an outside corner joint. This is in preparation for the metal dice that you will weld together yourself and take home with you to finish off however you like.

For a small surcharge you can have the dice powder coated in any colour you like. Or just leave it raw with the welding marks on it!

Beginners Silver Charm Making

Rose

Hello and welcome.  My name is Claire and I own Couchman Bespoke an ethical tailoring company based in London, UK.

Learn to sew beyond a straight line, we will cover curves and seams too.  We will go through the machine from all angles if needed too.  Whether you are learning to sew for the first time or to top up on the knowledge you already have.  Bring a readiness to learn and maybe a notebook for all that you learn, I may take some photos for use on my social media if you allow and can forward them onto you after.

Do you have a sewing machine that you have barely touched or are super new to sewing, and would love to have someone show you the ropes?   I can now offer this class virtually, though you are welcome to bring your machine into the in-person class.   We will explore the sewing machine through the differing components, dials and how to thread it up.  If you have questions about the different feet supplied with your machine they can be answered.

This hour lesson will cover the sewing machine, sewing straight lines (what to look for when sewing), taking it to a curved edge and even a few different seam styles.  Choose from 1 to 1 or group class. You will enjoy a pleasant environment with a patient tutor near Canning Town station.  All equipment is provided for your learning experience.  You will be learning techniques that align with your abilities, and take home all that you complete for reference.  If you wish to learn a specific technique please ask before the class date so I can be prepared for you.

As a business for good we collect donations for our Pay It Forward scheme to allow for people unable to afford classes.  Pay It Forward (https://www.couchman-bespoke.com/product-page/buy-1-sewing-lesson-forward).
