We are pleased to confirm that our in person courses will re-start with a full programme at our studio in September 2021. In fact its so full that we are still working on it but we are nearly there and there’s lots online to choose from already! But do not fear as we know many of you love our virtual courses these will continue too so there is something for everyone.
We have been busy reorganising the studio to fit in our new wool and make space for more too! It’s a work in progress but we are getting there slowly. We are also part way through getting new signage on our windows and doors.

If you had started a course before either of the lockdowns and we haven’t been in touch yet please check your junk mail as we think we have now contacted everyone who was half way through something with catch up date information.
If you had booked a course or workshop that hadn’t started yet we are getting in touch over the next couple of weeks with options on dates for you. If you can’t wait please do get in touch with us by email as we are happy to help.
We have a new virtual course with Lisa on Gelli Printing which looks like a great creative escape and a chance to buy new art supplies too.
