As our workshops provided by fabulous local tutors are growing increasingly popular, and because we only take a max of 7 on most workshops so there is plenty of space to work and adequate tutor time for each attendee, some do tend to fill up rather quickly – if there is one that you are interested in which is full please drop me a line – I can put you on a list should there be a last minute cancellation or if there are a few interested we may be able to squeeze in an extra workshop or tell you first when we get new dates.
We can arrange private workshops or Crafternoons just for you – please ask – gift vouchers also available.
