About Me

Hello, I'm Rachel - the founder of Secret Summer Studio.

I created this space for anyone who's ever craved a quiet escape, a creative reset or just a few hours of peace away from the noise. I've always loved working with my hands and helping others reconnect with their creativity - not in a loud performative way, but in the kind of setting where it's ok to breathe, take your time and make something meaningful.

My background is in running workshops for all sorts of groups - from hen parties and corporate teams to local community sessions.

Over time though, I found myself wanting something slower, more intentional. That's how Secret Summer Studio was born.

Here, I focus on small group craft workshops that feel more like gentle retreats. Whether it's botanical casting, textured art, Jesmonite casting or seasonal nature-inspired crafts, every session is designed to give you space to play, explore and recharge - no pressure, no perfectionism.

I believe in cups of tea, countryside views and creating with kindness. If you're looking for a quiet, creative escape, you're in the right place.
