Where Friends Grow London- 20s and 30s Social Group

🏺 Valentine’s Clay Vase Social Workshop 🏺

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with creativity, connection, and a little bit of mess in this relaxed, social clay workshop. This is part one of a two-part creative series, perfect for anyone who wants to craft, meet new people, and enjoy a fun, welcoming evening. You can attend just this session or book both workshops together at a discounted rate to create a fully finished vase complete with wire flowers.

Most attendees are in their 20s and 30s and come solo to connect and make new friends, but this workshop also makes a thoughtful Valentine’s gift, a lovely couples activity, or a fun Galentine’s plan. Everyone is welcome.

During this session, you’ll get your hands dirty creating your own air-dry clay vase, choosing your own shape, texture, and style. No experience is needed. Inspiration images and short video tutorials will be provided via a QR code at the event, so you can explore ideas and work at your own pace.

This is a welcoming, inclusive event open to all genders, identities, and preferences. Whether you arrive alone, with friends, or with a partner, you’ll be met with a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

We’ll begin the evening with 20 minutes of conversation cards to help break the ice and get everyone chatting comfortably. After that, we’ll settle into crafting together in a relaxed, social environment. The focus is on connection, not perfection—there’s no pressure to be “creative,” just come as you are and enjoy the process.

#### 🎨 Optional Second Workshop

There is an optional follow-up event where you can bring your dried clay vase back to paint and gloss it, and create a wire flower bouquet to place inside. Please note: due to the clay being wet during this first session, painting and glossing will not take place at this event.

### 🛠 What’s Included

• All materials and tools
• Guidance and support to complete your clay vase
• Inspiration images and video tutorials
• A friendly, social space to meet new people

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with creativity, connection, and community at this relaxed and social crafting evening. Whether you’re coming solo, with friends, or as a couple, this event is all about meeting new people while making something beautiful by hand.

You’ll be guided through creating your own bespoke wire flower bouquet, with all equipment provided, including wire cutters and shapers. An inspiration page with easy-to-follow tutorials will be shared via a link, so you can work at your own pace and choose designs you love—no experience or creative skills needed at all.

This is a welcoming, inclusive event open to all genders, identities, and preferences. While most attendees are in their 20s and 30s and often come alone to meet new people, everyone is welcome, and you’re absolutely free to attend with friends or a partner.

We’ll begin the evening with 20 minutes of conversation cards to help break the ice and get everyone chatting comfortably. From there, we’ll settle into crafting together in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The focus is on connection, not perfection—come as you are and enjoy the process.

#### 🏺 Optional Vase-Making Add-On

You also have the option to join a clay vase-making session beforehand and attend both events at a discounted price. If you’ve already made a vase, you’re welcome to bring it along to paint and gloss during this event. If you’re not joining the vase session, feel free to bring an old jar to paint and decorate for your bouquet.

• Valentine’s dates or couples
• Galentine’s plans
• Thoughtful handmade gifts
• Meeting new people and making friends

✨ Come alone or with others, enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, and leave with new connections and a handmade bouquet to treasure.
