HI!
I'M NICKY!
All The Hidden Hive workshops are hosted and taught by me,
from my garden studio in Bletchley, Milton Keynes
I have always been a curiously creative ideas person. I am a qualified Graphic Designer and Social Media Marketing Manager come all round creative hand crafter. The Hidden Hive is now my full-time passion and obsession, opening a creative workshop to be a hub for wellbeing, creativity and socialising
where people come together to learn candle making, crochet, macrame and other hand crafts as a form of self-care.
The Hidden Hive is a real explosion of creativity and that’s how I work, my mind is always active! I pride myself on creating unique & original workshops in almost every media. You won’t find the typical hand crafted workshop here, I’m constantly researching and experimenting with materials, learning new skills, facilitating the search for new and different creative workshops.
You'll honestly find me at my happiest when I’m teaching a workshop and chatting to new people. The real joy for me is seeing the satisfaction you have when you leave with your finished product having claimed you're 'not creative.'
Even better is that amazing moment when I receive ‘that’ text to tell me a friend asked you where you bought it, and you proudly say... “I made it!” at The Hidden Hive!
THAT’S what I live for!
Everything created at the hive has a purpose not just to look beautiful in your home – If it can meet that criteria I’ll make little exemplars to put around the house before I decide if I love it enough to create a fun workshop for it.
