If 2025 saw your phones and computers constantly vying for your attention, leaving you feeling mentally cluttered and creatively blocked, a short creative break might be just what you need to recharge. Taking intentional time away from screens not only refreshes your mind, but also helps spark new ideas and inspiration.

Step away from your screen and immerse yourself in hands-on creative activities like stitching, painting, crocheting, soap-making, and much more at our Laneway Learning workshops. These sessions are a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with your imagination, meet new people, and learn something new in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Most of the workshops are low-cost and led by experienced artists, ensuring that someone is always there to guide and encourage you if you get stuck or need a little inspiration.

So, why not explore your creative side and try a workshop? You never know what new hobby or passion you might discover along the way!

Trust us, your phone won't miss you.
