We provide workshops for crafty individuals!
Established in 2009 Running With Scissors is Sheffield's oldest craft workshop organisation. It offers you the opportunity to learn and develop craft skills in a fun and contemporary environment. Our workshops are run by tutors, who are specialists in their craft.
Running With Scissors was set up by Emma Kent in 2009 after being inspired by other craft lounges in America and the U.K. As a life long craft junkie, Emma has tried many, many crafts and it still unable to settle on a particular one (because there are just so many to choose from). Over the past few years crafting has become increasingly popular, funky and radical. The craft world has changed from its traditional homely image to something much more cutting edge and contemporary (check out knitted graffiti tagging).
In 2014 Emma made the exiting decision to move to her birth place, New Zealand! Her and her family are currently enjoying their adventures on the other side of the globe. Running With Scissor’s long term crochet tutor Laura Faulkner decided to take over the management of the workshops and a more active role in workshop delivery. Laura endeavours to be true to Emma’s original visions and friendly, inclusive approach. She is a former secondary school teacher and so is experienced in tutoring from the basics as well as differentiating for different abilities within the same group. Laura, like Emma, is a craft junkie and guilty of having far too many projects on the go at once!
