In the Studio - August

Summer is definitely here with more dry, bright and warmer days and this is reflected in the workshops on offer this month. I am also making a return visit to Lanhydrock in Cornwall where I will be demoing lots of bright and fun products with the newest Tim Holtz stamps and stencils. As so many of you are off on holiday or busy with children and grandchildren in August, there are fewer formal workshops but all the drop in sessions will continue as normal.

Tuesday 2 August 11am to 6pm

Croptime £5

Are you a scrapbooker? Thinking about trying scrapbooking? Got lots of photos but don't know where to start? Stuck for layout ideas? Want to try your hand at a mini book. If this sounds like you then why not pop along to our new Croptime drop in session between 11am and 6pm every Tuesday. It is not a taught workshop but more of a social session where we are happy to share all our tools and equipment with a few ideas thrown into the pot too! Kettle and coffee jug are on so just bring along whatever want to work on, beginners very welcome.

Wednesday 3 August 11am to 2pm

Monthly Layout Workshop £15/1SWV/£12(if paid at time of booking)

This month's sample layout is in soft colours with a subtle glisten from bead gel with stencils and sparkle from embossing powder with stamps both giving texture and dimension. I have used a 6"x4" black and white photo in the 'for instance' but as ever the layout can be adapt to suit more photos of different sizes.

Daisy, Daisy £15/1SWV/£12(if paid at time of booking)

What could be more evocative of summer than sitting in a meadow making daisy chains?

Colour Layering Flowers £15/1SWV/£12(if paid at time of booking
