Coming up - the last workshop of the year- obviously it had to be in the best wine bar in town! But first a little announcement:
I have made the difficult decision to reduce the amount of workshops I will be running. This yule crafting session will be both the last of the year, and the last for a while.

I have very much enjoyed getting to know so many wonderful crafters over the past year and a half, but I'm going to take some me time and hopefully re-emerge like the Goddess when it's warmer.

Thank you all for your support, I hope to see a few of you for a drink and a nibble on 12th!

Here are the workshop details:

Decorate your own table-top cone tree whilst learning all about the pagan history and meaning behind what we now call a Christmas tree. We will be Crafting with a range of materials so your design matches your decor, and you will be fully guided through this process by me - Nelly, art teacher and creative enthusiast.

This Yule special will be held at Relish cheese and wine bar! A perfect cozy setting to make merry in while you craft. Please feel free to come in early and get a bite to eat, and make a full evening of it with your bestie.
