Questions, answered
What is Madam Makery?
Madam hosts hands-on workshops that help people reconnect with their uninhibited childhood creativity, through the lens of grown up taste and humour. Think of it as an arts and crafts lab run by Mary Poppins and Morticia Addams. Madam is based in London.
Are these team building workshops?
Yes. Our workshops are ideal for team bonding or company culture events where you want something different: creative, surprising, and actually enjoyable. They build connection without the awkward ice-breakers.
Do people need to be creative?
No skills are needed. We actively shun usefulness, skill, and talent, and the workshops are designed to draw in even the most craft-averse. Sessions are carefully guided, so no one’s left floundering.
What do people get out of a workshop?
Playful novelty boosts problem-solving and flexibility, and shared absurdity breaks hierarchies. On the Founders Pit Stop, 100% of founders felt part of a supportive community. On Creating Communities with Mind, 85% reported an improvement in mood and wellbeing.
Which workshop should we choose?
Get Gargoyling is best for building resilience, Full Medal Jacket for celebrating each other, Boundary Embroidery for preventing burnout, Radical Sparkle for voicing ideas and values, Bauble Blood Fest for a Christmas party that brings people together, and Solstice Wreaths for a fresh start to the year. Madam can also tailor a workshop to your goals.
How much does a workshop cost?
Team workshops start from £1,200, based on a group of 15. Facilitation, all materials and seamless logistics are included. Larger groups and bespoke events are quoted on request.
How long does a workshop take?
Between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the workshop. Workshops are flexible to your timings.
Where do workshops take place?
Madam comes to you, at your office or a venue of your choice. No venue? No problem, we find a convenient one for you. Madam is based in London and available for travel.
Can we book a workshop for a Christmas party?
Yes. Bauble Blood Fest transforms perfectly innocent baubles into festive oddities: eerie, hilarious, wonderfully scary. Everyone leaves with two to six DIY baubles.
Do you work with charities?
Yes, with single sessions or multi-week programmes at discounted rates. Companies can also book for their team and sponsor a workshop for a charity of their choice.
Do you run private parties?
Yes. Madam’s workshops are also specifically crafted for hen dos, divorce parties, sabbaths, etc.
