Workshop Dates

A workshop is a lovely chance to learn a new skill, be inspired, and share ideas whist meeting new people. So if you’re coming alone don’t worry all workshops are small (normally 4 people), friendly and informal. A good blether is guaranteed with plenty cups of tea.

 Private tuition on a one to one basis is available  at the cost of £100.  There is an incremental  reduction for two people.

Why not get together with a group of friends and book a private workshop treat day. Prices from £60 per person

I look forward to meeting you and seeing what you create….the only limitation is your imagination!! Everything else you need to know you will learn.

I run my six main workshops in February, May, August and November. I alternate the workshops so if one month its on a Saturday the next one will be on a Sunday, I will add additional dates if required so if you see something you fancy and its fully booked please get in touch and I can add an additional date.  I add seasonal and themed workshops dates thoughout the year. 

If you would like to be added to my new for 2026 Newsletter "Woolly Waffelings" mailing list get in touch with your email address. You will get a full list of workshop dates and  first refusal of new workshops!
