New Christmas Wreath Course dates are now Live for 2024

Learn how to create a show stopping Christmas wreath following our unique design. Courses running November 22nd - 14th Dec 2024

We don’t have enough creativity in our lives… so that’s why we created the cowshed.

Located on a small farm on the rural back lanes of Tenterden, we offer a great selection of creative courses by working with local artists and makers to bring you years of expertise and experience. Our courses are designed for all, whether this is your first time holding a needle or paint brush, right through to learning how to sculpt with willow, design ceramics or weave a basket. It’s a really welcoming atmosphere with small groups, so great to attend with friends or on your own… Check out our courses and come and see for yourself.
