What our participants say

Programme Manager at WISE

“Crafts and Yaps” is a wonderful initiative that has given me something to look forward to during my work week. It combines approachable woodworking that I otherwise wouldn’t have done alongside a comforting environment where I can meet people away from the pressure of networking events. I will definitely go again and again and encourage anyone on the fence to just go for it!

I love a Crafts & Yaps session. It's a chance to pause, turn off my day-to-day admin and stress brain, and just settle myself in for some happy company and creativity. Sne and Emmy are beautiful human beings who make everyone feel welcome and capable, and for just an hour, you're transported to a pocket of purposeful making to a soundtrack of fun conversation.
