5 Quirky And Weird Classes And Workshops To Take In London

London's got everything, it really does. Here are some of the weirdest and most wonderful classes you can take while you are in the city.

1. Embroider your 'Member' at Late Nights with The London Loom

These late-night classes are for those of us with a license to drink alcohol. The BYOB affairs are a great event to do with friends. The two girls that run these classes out of their Hackney studio are brilliant and are sure to make you feel welcome and totally non-awkward about this hilarious embroidery night. No nudity is necessary, although we wouldn't judge you if you can't remember your member from memory and have to get it out.

2. Make Bacon (From Scratch) in the Morning

This early morning class starts at 9.30am with lashings of bacon sarnies and mugs of tea or coffee. Learn how to make pig to belly, belly to bacon, slice it up, fry it, grill it. The world is your oyster, and it smells like bacon. Crispy or pink, HP or Ketchup, thick or thin. Have your bacon, your way, just how you like it. Take home enough bacon to feed the street, or yourself for a week. It's all up to you.

3. Make a Wooden Spoon from Nothing but a Giant Log

London Green Wood is an epic wood carving and woodwork studio in Abney Park Cemetry. It sounds creepy, but it's not, in fact, it's rather breathtaking. These classes teach you safe wood whittling skills and, even if you've never picked up an axe before in your life, help you create a finished wooden spoon. This weird and wonderful hobby has become quite popular on social media recently, so perhaps it's about time you jump on the bandwagon.

4. Crochet Yourself a Monster

They love it in Japan, and it's found its way to London. Amigurumi (pronounced a-me-gu-roo-mi) is a Japanese word for the art of making stuffed dolls and toys. It isn't just for kids either, although they are welcome. Create whatever you fancy, fill your home with them, go wild. These monsters are anything but scary.

5. Build Your Own Demijohn Terrarium

A terrarium is the ultimate millenial pet. They are entirely self-sustainable, meaning they are, essentially, their own ecosystem inside the jar. A plant that doesn't ever need watering, and won't die. They also just so happen to be really beautiful, which is a total bonus. These workshops running in London are set up in pop up locations across the city. This one is held in Brockwell Community Green Houses, which just makes the whole thing even better. Create your own mini, self sufficient garden in a giant jar.
