In the Studio - January 2017

Happy New Year and welcome to the first of my workshop schedules for 2017.

All the regular favourites are still here with the Monthly Layout and Take One Stamp workshops, a different mini book workshop each month and, following the success of the December Altered Clipboard workshop I will be adding in a monthly one too with each workshop exploring different products, techniques and seasonal themes building to a beautiful collection of 12 pieces of art to hang on your wall, or simply a one off favourite time/occasion celebrated or recorded as a very personal gift.

There will still be two 'Stop By &' sessions every week, on Tuesday's and Thursday's, 11am to 7pm until the end of February, extended to 9pm from March to the end of October. You are welcome to stay as long as you like and to use these sessions to stamp, crop, card make or art journal with access to all our consumables, stamps and workshop scrap boxes for just £7.50 a session including 5 quality cards with envelopes or a till credit for one cardstock and one patterned paper. Most months there will also be an Art Journal Sunday 'Stop By &' session on the last Sunday of the month where we have held the price at £5.

To business....
