Dancing Hens Studio can run your party for you. We can either provide a general craft party or a specific skill party.

If knitting is not your thing - have a cup cake decorating party. Ice your own pretty designs on the cakes, learn to make sugarpaste roses - you may even decide to decorate the wedding cake!

Mosaic Parties
Come and make a broken china mosaic letter. Choose the initial beforehand and make it for your own room or as a gift.

Kid's Craft Parties
