Pottery painting sessions, baby print keepsakes and clay experiences. Regional winners x3 years! About Me:
I am Tracey, the Director, Manager, PA, Promotions, Marketing, HR, Admin, Crafter, and tea lady at Dixie Dot Crafts! I'm a 45 year old Mum to a 13 year old Son and a 13 year old Bonus-daughter that came on a BOGOF deal when I met her Dad. We live in Hempsted with our noisy cat, Ziggy! I love
sunshine, the smell of petrol, bright colours and Pimms! About Us:
Dixie Dot Designs was born in 2013 after making lots of lovely homemade handmade delights for my friends and then being asked if I could make some for them to give as gifts too! I embraced a new love of crafting, eventually venturing out in to teaching people what I'd learnt. I soon realised there was a big need to teach larger groups of people and wanted to start a business encouraging people into finding new hobbies and getting children to embrace their creative side. Dixie Dot Crafts opened in May 2017 in Quedgeley, Gloucestershire and within weeks we had outgrown the original space which was unable to accommodate all our lovely new customers! By Christmas that year we had secured larger premises to be our new home. The studio moved a mile down the road to Kingsway in March 2018 and is three times the size of the old one!
2020 bought the start of 'Dixie Dot on Tour' - taking all we offer out into the local communities but was brought to an abrupt (temporary) halt with the arrival of Covid! CoronaVirus did have two positive effects though - bringing forward plans for our retail business (the Dixie Dot Shop) where you can buy all manner of craft kits, gifts and lovely things, and also launching our 'Paint at Home' range of take away kits. Now you can enjoy painting in the studio and in the comfort of your own home! What's not to love?! Look forward to seeing you soon # # #
