Are you searching for a unique Community Event in Cardiff?
Finch loves getting involved in charity community events and can host them at Lark studio! We feel strongly that craft sessions can bring togetherness to an event and are a great way to promote wellbeing.
To give you an indication of cost, a 2-hour community event with a fun sampler craft would cost a minimum of £150 (this would typically cover a group size up to 10 people & within 10 miles of Lark Studio)
This cost would cover our preparation, set up, admin, teaching, materials* and pack away.
Our experience…
We have done many workshops for charities, including friendship and support group activities for Age Cymru & Unpaid Carers across venues in Gwent, a 10-week sewing course for Afghanistan Refugees at their temporary housing in a Cardiff hotel, monthly Facebook LIVE sessions for the Royal Voluntary Service, where we promote a range of crafts, as well as monthly Parent & Child workshops at Lark studio and on Zoom for Single Parents Wellbeing.
We have also been successful in securing funding to do several workshops in British Sign Language for the Deaf Community in Wales.
Finally, we have also done other events, including annual lectures and interactive sessions for Occupational Health University students on the importance of design, and outdoor events such as the MADE in Cardiff festival, Green Man Music Festival, Rudry Music Festival and Insole Court Open Days.

Event Prices

*It is important to say that we are not in a position to offer free or really cheap events — a request we receive all the time. We understand that your charity or reason for holding a community event is important, but we are all self-employed and every hour we work is essential in ensuring we can pay our small business costs and pay ourselves at the end of each month :)
