If you're already tired of the Oxford Street chaos, and you're finding yourself aimlessly scrolling Amazon for gift ideas, Honey & Co. Studio has a slower, more wholesome alternative. This year, the beloved brand is hosting a series of festive workshops designed to help Londoners create their own Christmas gifts, including hand-painted baubles, embroidered cards, and even Brussels sprout kimchi.
The events are part of 'The Joy Season', the studio's programme of in-person events for 2025. With one simple goal – to bring more joy. The season is all about picking up new hobbies, trying something different, and finding pleasure in the small things. Born out of founders, Sarit and Itamar's obsession with ceramic making, they've invited a lineup of brilliant creatives hosting workshops in everything from kimchi-making and life drawing to sound healing.
Across November and December, you'll find wreath-making, calligraphy, and festive crafts on the schedule, plus a winter solstice sound bath to round things off. You can drop in for a single class or pop by for any that take your fancy. Each workshop is led by local makers and artists, with plenty of tea, conversation, and inspiration along the way.
Honey & Co. Studio has always been more than just a venue; it's a community hub where food, art, and creativity come together. Whether you're after a wholesome date idea or simply an excuse to switch off your phone for a couple of hours, these festive sessions are a gentle reminder that Christmas presents don't need to come from the high street.
The space is also available for private hire, accommodating up to 70 guests standing or 50 seated, along with a bar counter, sound system, and optional tables and seating.
