Workshop Information:

for an idea of what we make in workshops, click here.

Workshops spaces are filled on a first come, first served basis and places limited so I can get around to everyone and allow time for sharing hints, tips and tutorials.
Full day workshops contain a minimum of 5 projects, mainly cards but also another papercraft project like favour boxes, bags or other dimensional objects, depending on the time of year.
Project kits contain everything needed to make the card, with the exception of glue, double sided tape, foam pads and colouring tools for images - see what you need to bring below.
The day is informal and you can work at your own pace!
You will be given the opportunity to use inks, stamps and embossing / die cutting tools and machines during the day.
Depending on the season, and the theme for the day, the cards will be made using a mixture of die cuts, Rubber stamp / digi images and decoupage.

Note - I respect digital artists' usage policies and where digital crafting products are used in workshops, I have sought permission from the artist directly - digital images and papers should not be shared without express permission from the artist.

If you wish to share / use digital images from the Internet, ensure they are copyright free or you seek permission from the creator.

There are spare tools available on the day on request, and a lot of us crafters don't mind sharing, but its handy if you can bring the following basic tools:
