Due to unforeseen circumstances I have last minute availability for a Saturday in the classroom. This is rare as they book up quickly, but if anyone would like to use it on October 24th please do get in touch. It’s the gathering weekend so I would love it to be used by someone. If you want run a drop in session, open classes or do a meet the maker. Just drop me a message!

We've opened our diary for classroom bookings for next year and we would like to know what classes you are looking for. We've got Seaglass staying, candle making and aromatherapy, plus plans for a beaded embroidery class.
Tell me what you'd like to learn, what you are looking for and we will find the right teachers! 😊

Sashiko is a lovely technique to learn, this Japanese meading technique can be used to create patterns and designs on anyrhing you fancy. We've got threads to stitch with, templates for traditional designs and some kits to make bags and cushions.
It's a lovely simple technique to learn too 😊
