Joy House Creations

The art of slowing down.

Here at Joy House Creations we believe in the importance of slowing down in our busy world, choosing unhurried, slow & thoughtful processes to craft our items, and welcoming others to join us.

It’s our joy to welcome others into our practices of slowing down through
teaching our crafts.

We bring our love for people and creativity together through running workshops in the local area, alongside providing unique items for homes and gathering spaces.

We hope that every item you receive reminds you to
pause
& be
present
as you encounter them.

Beyond the item we hope that we help you to slow down and engage fully
with the people and the world around you, moment to moment.
