Hope you are enjoying the last of the sun’s rays –through the odd downpour! - and starting to think about enjoying some creative time over the next few months.
I’ve attached details of this season’s course and I really hope you can come.
This is a beginners course so no need to have any prior experience. There will be plenty to keep you inspired and don’t worry, lack of skill, equipment or even fabric will not be a bar to making a start with a new skill that might become seriously addictive.
