We are currently adding to our list of workshops and classes. If there is something in particular you would like to learn, get in touch. If there are enough like minded people we can certainly facilitate a class. Generally these workshops explore current trends within the craft world and allow you to dip your ‘toe in the water’ before spending your hard earned cash on materials.
