Coffee, Cake, ‘n’ Craft – Concrete Garden Orbs in New Romney, Kent
Description
Let your creativity take shape in this tactile and calming concrete garden orb workshop, part of the popular Coffee, Cake, ‘n’ Craft series at Teach Me Courses. Over the course of a relaxed two-hour session, you’ll learn how to design and cast your own sculptural concrete orb, which doubles as a beautifully minimal planter—perfect for herbs, succulents, or small seasonal plants. Using easy-to-handle moulds and a specially blended concrete mix, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of mixing, moulding, and setting your piece. Inspired by natural forms and modern simplicity, the focus is on clean lines, raw texture, and creating a functional object that feels at home in both garden and indoor spaces. Whether you're new to craft or looking to expand your skills with a new material, this hands-on workshop offers a peaceful space to experiment and enjoy the process. Led by a friendly and experienced tutor, the session is designed to be welcoming, informal, and enjoyable. Alongside the making, you’ll be able to enjoy unlimited coffee and generous slices of cake, with plenty of time for conversation and creativity. It's a perfect way to slow down at the end of the week and connect with others in a supportive and sociable setting.
