Teaching and workshops are an important and fulfilling way to support makers and for makers to support their time in the studio. Peckham Craft Show is passionate about having making a part of the show so all our workshops take place in the backdrop of the exhibition. Often craft and making can be as much about engaging and learning new processes as it is about the end results.
