About The Shire Workshops

Bob & Joe Stafford

At The Shire Workshops, we aim to have great fun using fantastical ideas and exploring infinite combinations of shapes, patterns and colours, just as nature has done.

We believe that all artistic expression is joyful, therapeutic and enriching. That it should be encouraged in all ages, and be a vital part of all our lives.

When you visit us at The Shire Workshops, you can immerse yourself in creative activities, use your imagination and realise your ideas. You can explore materials and techniques for a purpose and for fun. You can join others in a community of creativity or sit by yourself and create. Indulge your creative desires in Clay, Sculpey and Pal Tiya Premium.
