We send all of our boxes on the same day at the beginning of every month so there's enough time for them all to arrive before our online craft night. If you haven't received it within 3-5 working days send us an email and we'll look into it for you.
Our boxes are primarily aimed at adults but there's no reason why children cannot get involved. Some activities may require adult supervision. We are looking into a box aimed at children so watch this space!
Your Curious Octopus box is designed to give you a taster into a multitude of different arts and crafts. Every month, you will receive a project to complete, which may introduce you to a completely different skill. It might be sewing, felting, needlework, paper quilling, painting, drawing, the list is endless.
Contact us immediately on connect@curiousoctopus.art and we will put it right as soon as we can.
We provide a live craft night for a couple of reasons, to help you carve out the time for yourself to create your project as we know this is a sticking point for so many people. If you have a date in your diary with other people joining in, you're more likely to complete the project. We also love connecting with people, knowing there are people all over the nation joining in, creating and interacting over the same craft project is a magical experience. Many people aren't able to physically go to a craft night regularly so we send the equipment to your door and stream a craft night into the comfort of your own home.
The online craft night is a free optional addition to your subscription box. Some people buy boxes with their friends or loved ones and schedule a time to meet up in person or online but if you'd like to make your craft box on your own you're very welcome to watch again after the live.
