About our workshops
Our workshops are designed to be a place where you can relax, learn, and have fun! They are held at our large table at the back of the shop and are limited to 5 participants. If a workshop is full, you can ask to be put on the waiting list.
If you need to cancel your booking, we require 3 full business days to issue you a refund. After that, we will only be able to offer a refund if someone else takes your place. Also, don't forget to put your workshop in your diary! We don't have a reminder system, and are sad when folks miss a booking.
I had an amazing time at this workshop. Everyone was friendly, and the teacher was extremely knowledgeable. Went away with lots of ideas on how my new skill could be used. Would definitely recommend the workshop.
I spent a happy, peaceful two hours ( 20th Feb 2023) at this lovely woolly haven learning how to do this weaving. I thought it would be tricky learning this technique but we were very quickly creating a practice braid. We then moved on to create a key hanger. We took this home along with the braiding disk……am now off to look through my stash for cotton yarn to make some more. I think family and friends might be receiving braided items this year.
Thank you Debbie for organising and the coffee and cookies. Thank you Paula for your instructions and patience.
This is a fantastic workshop. I thought it may be complicated to learn this technique, but couldn’t have been more wrong! Within minutes of Paula showing us how to get started, we were creating our first braid. It was so easy, and extremely rewarding. We then made a lovely key hanger to take home, along with the braiding disk. This gave a great sense of achievement, as I went from knowing nothing at the beginning, to having a super completed project in 2 hours. This was an extremely enjoyable workshop, with superb tea and cookies. Thank you Debbie and Paula.
I've just come back from taking part in this workshop. It looked very complicated and I wondered if I would be able to manage. However, Paula took us through the steps clearly and patiently and in no time we were all producings braids. It is a beautiful craft with many different ways of using colour and endless uses for the completed braid.
Many thanks to Paula for the instruction, and thanks to Debbie for the tea and cookies!
