“challenging & rewarding experience”
“I took part in a knitting session with Paula as part of a team building event & had the best time - what a fun way to learn & create together! Paula & her team were great teachers & made sure everyone followed along, it was both a challenging & rewarding experience. Plus, everyone got to leave with their hand-knitted blanket, I've been staying cozy all winter thanks to it. I 100% recommend Cocoon&me!”
Magali de Quillacq - Partner Solutions Manager at Meta, Dec 2023
“everyone who attended left delighted”
“In the office on a dreary January day, I was looking for a fun event for our colleagues to help beat the winter blues. What better way than to use your arms to knit your own blanket. The workshop was fantastic from start to finish, it was not only a great opportunity to socialise with colleagues, but also quite therapeutic. Plus, you get to learn a new skill & go home with a beautiful blanket which you can admire for years to come.
Paula was amazingly patient & everyone who attended left delighted. I think we may have to run another one due to the number of people who have noticed our colourful blankets in the background of our Zoom calls! Thank you to Paula and Cocoon & Me for such a fun experience!”
Jenny Mati - HR leader in a global company, Feb 2024
“Smashing success”
“Your organisation of several Arm Knit events in London was second to none, Paula - Cocoon&me. In addition to the events being a smashing success, collaborating with this imaginative & expert artist was a true delight. The feedback has been absolutely fantastic, & we will definitely be working with Cocoon&me again for future events.”
Mark Ciavola - Potters Thumb Founder, Nov 2023
“inspiring workshop”
“An enchanting evening of arm knitting magic at our London showroom last week! Big shoutout to the incredibly talented Cocoon&me for hosting such an inspiring workshop.
I would like to thank you so very much the amazing workshop you have delivered for my guests. They have truly enjoyed it, & I have received some very lovely email & calls following it. I’m sure we will work gain together in the near future.”
Bianca Modoranu - Ocee & Four Design, September 2023
“wonderfully engaging”
“Paula was wonderfully engaging & full of smiles for this workshop! It was a great creative activity for our clients, which was easy & fun to follow, & everyone managed to take a finished piece home!! Would highly recommend Paula for team, client or friend groups, & will definitely be looking to book again in the future. Thank you Paula for a super afternoon!”
Daphne McMahon - Morgan Furniture, May 2023
“Ideal for Team Building”
“Paula ran a ‘crochet a planter’ workshop at Brighton Summit: Unite in 2022. Attendees loved it and the fact that it was interactive which helped people to talk and help each other out. It’s ideal for team building and at the same time it is fun and a real treat.”
Sarah Springford - CEO at Brighton Chamber, May 2022
“Professional, organised & conscientious”
“When we were approached by a large client to run sustainability workshops, Paula was the first person I thought of. Professional, organised and conscientious she goes above and beyond to deliver. The workshops themselves are a real treat; our customers always leave delighted to have gained a new skill, a beautiful take-home item and to have been taught in such an engaging, uplifting and informative way. Working with Paula and Cocoon & Me is always a joy and I highly recommend them.”
Melanie Fisher - Founder, Zero Waste, February 2022
“Fun social event”
“If you are looking to do a fun social event and learn a new hobby then I would recommend doing an event with Cocoon and Me. For Guidewire Software, we did the Storage Crochet basket as it is a quick and easy project for everyone to learn some form of crocheting, using recycled cotton yarn. The whole process of booking this event to the actual day was a smooth process with any questions/queries addressed by Paula and her team. Thank you once again for a great afternoon enjoyed by all that joined and watched the recording, thereafter.”
Dee Chauhan - Assistant Financial Controller, Guidewire Software , May 2022
“warm, patient & funny”
“As a very mixed ability group some of us were apprehensive about learning arm knitting but it was an absolute blast!! Paula was warm, patient and funny so made the whole process bloomin' wonderful! Thanks again for the workshop and we will definitely be booking something else in!!!”
Rebecca Corker - Moving & Handling Trainer, West Sussex County Council, August 2021
“informative & organised”
“The inspirational and creative Paula was booked as a Christmas workshop in our studio to make arm knit blankets.
From the start, she was informative and organised, sending yarn choices for us to pick our colours, to having everything delivered before the day.
Paula arrived and miraculously turned our showroom into a crotchet and arm knit woolly wonderland. With clear instructions and guidance Paula took us through each stage, making everyone feel relaxed and happy.. we sure did have fun and a few giggles along the way.
With a wonderful buzz in the studio we all busily knitted with Paula watching, engaging and guiding us, from the complete creative novice to the more arty amongst us!
A great day had by all, I would highly recommend one of Cocoon&Me’s workshops for a work event.”
Sally-Ann Sturgess - Founder, The Hummingbird Card Company, January 2022
benefits of crafting
Crafting allows you to be contemplative, mindful & to get some perspective on your life. Being creative builds up self-esteem & confidence. Learning a new skill takes time & offers the perfect opportunity to believe in yourself. Everyone is creative, all it takes is a little trust and self-love.
Our belief is that crafting is for everyone – all genders, all ages, all abilities, & people with disabilities. We make everyone feel welcome, from senior management to junior support.
Our crafts can be part of team building days, promotional events, charity functions, Christmas parties & more!
After 2 years of Lockdowns, working from home & bubbles, a craft workshop can bring teams together in a social context, improving collaboration & communication.
You can either choose from one of our craft workshops or we can design a tailored programme for your event aimed at achieving your specific outcomes; be that group interaction, fun & relaxation, product or brand visibility & exposure. We can help put a crafty spin on it.
