Pick from our exciting lineup or let us create a one-of-a-kind activity just for your event. No matter your skill level, you’ll leave with a smile - & something beautiful you made yourself.
Inspiring the Young
Paula’s passion for teaching is contagious! This year, she launched a Craft After School Club at Brighton College Prep Handcross, where children dive into a mix of creative projects, pick up new skills, & have fun in a lively, hands-on environment. It’s all about learning, laughter, & letting imaginations run wild!
Muti generational
We love hosting intimate sessions where families of all ages come together to get creative. There’s something magical about seeing grandparents, parents, & children all crafting side by side - sharing laughs, swapping stories, & making memories. At Cocoon&me, every generation is welcome, & every session is a chance to connect, & have an unforgettable time together.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Cocoon&me isn’t just about making beautiful things - it’s about making a difference. Every Macramé & Crochet workshop is rooted in sustainability, with materials carefully sourced & recycled wherever possible. We don’t just craft - we connect, teaming up with local projects & like-minded businesses to build a creative, eco-friendly community across Brighton. Creativity with a conscience? That’s Cocoon&me!
The Therapeutic Power of Crafting
We are very much about the therapeutic benefits of crafting. Following our workshops participants tell us about the positive impact on their well-being. They report feeling a positive sense of self-empowerment & pride in their achievements. There is no better feeling than returning home with your own beautifully made creation whether for yourself or a loved one. .
Meet our Founder: Paula
Paula’s creative spark was first lit by her late mother, Norma, an artist in Covent Garden in the 1970s. Surrounded by inspiration, Paula went on to earn a Knitwear Degree at Middlesex University, winning the prestigious Textprint prize from Paul Smith himself.
After a successful career as a Design Director/Senior Knitwear Designer at top UK brands, Paula followed her dream & launched Cocoon&me. What started as bespoke products soon grew into a vibrant brand offering craft kits, supplies, & now hands-on workshops for all ages. Paula’s energy fuels every session, reminding us that creativity is for everyone, & it’s never too late to begin your own crafty adventure.
