Twin Made is the original home of Creative Workshops in Cardiff.

About Twin Made

Twin Made began in 2010 with an Etsy Shop and Craft Markets, where I would sell my creations. After lots of requests from friends to teach them and seeing there were not many contemporary, one-off craft classes in Cardiff I started teaching creative workshops in 2012. Most craft classes on offer were daytime or reoccurring classes - but I am a busy person and I wanted to get instant gratification and leave a session with a finished item, so I created some Twin Made workshops. I started simple with lampshade making and embroidery classes - hosting them in pubs and spaces around Cardiff and London. During this time I trained to be a Design and Technology Teacher and began teaching Textiles in a Cardiff Secondary School while working on Twin Made at weekends and any spare moment I had! Which is not a lot when you are a Secondary School Teacher!

Our Story

In the Summer of 2016 we found a home at The Bone Yard, a shipping container village in Cardiff and a few months later we moved into our first Creative Container and later expanded to a second Twin Container. 2018 was the year I worked on Creative Collaborations with local makers to bring new and exciting workshops and increased our range of Make it Yourself and Craft Kits.

Another summer of change in 2019 when I joined the creative team of O Dan//Under\\Nos Da - a creative space in the heart of Cardiff.

In 2020 I expand my range of downloads and cross stitch kits.

The Corp Market

In November 2021 we moved into the unique space: The Corp Market. Our new home was the former Corporation Pub that sits on the corner of Cowbridge Road East and Llandaff Road. As you come in through the front door, pass the Twin Made Vend, and find my Studio-Shop on the right.
