Happy New Year everyone and welcome to our January Workshop Schedule. Just five brand new workshops this month featuring new projects with loads of new stamps, new papers and new mixed media products, it's just new, new, new all the way!
There are still lots of the things you love too, although with some small changes. Drop in sessions such as Stop By & Stamp and Art Journal Sunday continue, weekly for the former but now on Thursdays rather than Wednesday's, and last Sunday of the month for the latter. The popular monthly Croptime session where the focus is on scrapping and mini books will now have a weekly slot every Tuesday. This will allow me to teach formal workshops on a couple of Wednesdays each month for those who find Saturdays difficult and increasing the overall number of workshops on offer from February.
This also means the regular monthly layout workshop will move from a Tuesday back to it's original slot on a Wednesday and, in future, there will only be one timetabled class for this as one of the groups prefer to book a slot as a custom workshop at a date and time to suit them each month. Don't forget this is an option for any group of four or more for any workshop, from the timetable or designed specifically for you and your friends, your venue, my studio or for larger groups the breakout space.

Easy!
In all our workshops and drop in sessions we provide everything you need to complete the project including tools and basic consumables such as adhesive. If you would prefer to work with your own tools, you are of course very welcome to bring them along.
