Our first love is making things with our hands. We also love to make new friends. As craft facilitators, the workshops we have conducted allow us to bring these two loves together. We have worked with corporates, government agencies and schools, customising craft workshops tailored to their needs. These included, team building workshops, community workshops and fringe activities at PR events.
Here are of some awesomely enjoyable workshops which we ran. Crafting was really fun even though many of the participants did not have any prior experience. We were there to show them how simple it was to DIY and make something fabulously beautiful with their hands. No experience was needed to create their work of art.
If you would like to plan some activities for your event and would like fresh ideas, why not talk to us? We will be excited to suggest hands on craft sessions for your event. Just drop us a note at hello@wahsosimple.com and we will be right at the other end waiting for you!
