Sustainable Craft Workshops
If the person you’re celebrating likes to be hands-on and get creative then a craft workshop could be perfect for their hen do! It’s a lovely way to spend a few hours together in a relaxing environment over your hen weekend, either enjoying it with some tea and cake, or you can always add a cheeky class of bubbles!
However, some workshops can be wasteful in terms of the things you make or how you make them - but it’s easy to avoid that. There’s so many people and small businesses out there offering gorgeous activities that consider the planet at the same time.
How can I tell if a craft workshop is sustainable?
There are lots of ways a craft workshop can be sustainable - we recommend looking out for the following things:
Using recycled or second-hand materials for what you’ll make.
Implementing zero-waste practices or limiting the waste generated.
Using materials and products that are non-toxic or that don’t harm the environment.
Using fresh products (like flowers or plants) that are in season or locally-sourced.
Making things that you’ll genuinely use again, rather than trinkets that get forgotten.
