Welcome to Fire Nest

Founded in October 2019 by partners Will and Phoebe, Fire Nest is a creative studio nestled in the heart of Kempston West End, Bedford. What began as a passion project has grown into a thriving community hub where creativity flourishes and artistic dreams come to life.

Our studio offers an extensive range of hands-on workshops designed to inspire and delight crafters of all abilities. From our popular candle making and pottery painting sessions to specialised classes in glass fusing, perfume blending, and seasonal crafts, we provide authentic creative experiences in a warm, welcoming environment.

Fire Nest is special because of our expert instruction from passionate artisans Will and Phoebe, with all materials and tools provided for every workshop. Our welcoming atmosphere is perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike, whether you're seeking solo creativity, planning a date night, celebrating with groups, or organising corporate events. Every piece you create is professionally fired and ready to treasure for years to come.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, exploring a new hobby, or simply seeking a peaceful escape from daily life, Fire Nest offers the perfect space to unwind and create. Our cosy studio has become a beloved gathering place where friendships are formed, memories are made, and creativity knows no bounds.

We can't wait to welcome you to our Fire Nest family and help you discover the joy of creating something beautiful with your own hands.
