The year has sped by so quickly yet I still can't believe it's October with Autumn shows, Halloween and, of course, Christmas just over the horizon. I have a busy month ahead with three events, my regular Autumn visit to Port Sunlight, Stamp Magic at Doncaster Dome and the South Wales Craft and Hobby Show plus five brand new workshops with everything from contemporary Christmas cards to a chunky 6x6 mini album, and nine 'drop in' sessions too!
Important Workshop Information
Before I continue with details of the October workshops a quick reminder of a few Studio changes. With effect from 1 September several of our wholesalers have increased their prices to us by between 9% and 16% which combined with the current weakness of sterling means I am unable to hold our prices at current rates so you are going to see increases almost across the board as new stock arrives in the Studio. Unfortunately, as my workshops are all inclusive and product heavy, mostly with a free choice of papers, colours etc this impacts significantly on my workshop costs too.
Rather than a straightforward across the board increase I have decided to hold almost all standard workshop prices at current levels, but am reducing the discount for payment at time of booking from 20% to 10% making a standard 1/2 day workshop £15 on the day or £13.50 with payment at time of booking, and full day workshops starting at £30 on the day or £27 if paid at time of booking. I am also discontinuing Snazzy Workshop Vouchers with those currently in circulation valid until 31 December 2016 - if you are gifting a workshop you will of course be able to buy a normal Snazzys Gift Voucher for this. The prices for drop in sessions, Croptime, Stop By and Stamp, Art Journal Sunday etc will remain at £5 a session but I will no longer provide adhesive runners, blank cards and envelopes or credit papers at the till. I am really sorry to do this but as a regular customer at these drop ins has pointed out, our original Tabletime sessions almost 15 years ago were £5 for a 3 hour session which I hope helps put these changes into perspective X
The Studio will be closed on Friday 30 September and Saturday 1 October for the HSNW Autumn Festival.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crafter, make cards, scrapbook layouts, art journal pages or create Mixed Media pieces, stamps are a great addition. In these sessions we make all our workshop tools, stamps and stamping consumables available to you so you can have fun experimenting and creating without having to buy all the bits and pieces. Why not drop by, enjoy a cuppa and have a go!

Gatefold Mini Album £30/£27(if paid at time of booking)
This pretty little album is 6" X 6" x 2" when finished with 12 pages and 6 pockets with photo mats/journaling cards inside with a magnetic closure. Bags of room for photos, journaling and memorabilia with a choice of papers. Please note this album is constructed from scratch and therefore involves a good deal of cutting, scoring and construction, hence the 10am start!

Croptime £5
Monthly Layout Workshop £15/£13.50(if paid at time of booking)
This month's layout features some simple paper weaving with old book pages, background papers custom coloured with distress inks and stamping. I have used three photos 3"x5", 4"x8" and 3"x3" in the sample page but this is just a guide as the layout can be easily adapted during the workshop to suit your photos and colour scheme.
