We are Hazel & Paula, the colour-loving creatives behind Kismet & Kin

With over twenty years of experience in the arts sector, we bring a rich and varied background across multiple disciplines.

We thrive on problem-solving and are endlessly inspired by the boundless possibilities of making — equally at home with  a sheet of paper and scalpel, a mound of clay or a needle and thread.

Passionate advocates of the creative process, we founded Kismet & Kin to bring people together and share the intrinsic benefits of making for mental wellbeing. 

We believe creativity is not a luxury, but a powerful, grounding practice that is essential.

With so much of our existence being online it's easy to feel isolated, lost and craving for human connection. Kismet & Kin are here for adults who miss making.

Our workshops are welcoming, nurturing spaces where conversations spark, new friendships form, and meaningful connections grow — alongside your beautiful newfound skills.

You don’t have to be “creative” you simply need to show up as you are.

Slow down, make mindfully, relish crafting joyful pieces to treasure or pass on with love.

Hire us to create and deliver a workshop package designed for your people and your place.

With prices starting at just £15pp we come to you with everything needed to slow down, connect and have some fun.
