Where Makers Find Their People

Likhaee brings together crafters, artists and creative thinkers from across the UK. Whether you knit, carve, print or stitch, there's a place for you here.


Meet Our Makers

Craft Is Better Together

Likhaee (from the Urdu for "writing" or "creation") was founded on a simple idea: making things is more rewarding when you share the journey. We host monthly meet-ups, seasonal workshops, and an online forum where UK makers swap tips, show works-in-progress, and cheer each other on.

No gatekeeping, no pretension. Just people who love working with their hands.

New to Crafting?

Everyone starts somewhere. Our beginner's guide covers the basics: choosing a craft, gathering supplies without breaking the bank, and finding the confidence to share your first project. It's written by members who remember exactly what those early days feel like.
