June Taster Classes!

Announcing our June Taster Class Day!

Keep Saturday 8th June free in your diary as we have an action packed day of craft planned! Our summer taster classes are £25 and are a little shorter but a little fuller than our regular classes and we're offering them at a great price so everyone can learn something new and make something amazing! Prosecco will be on hand to make this day of crafting even more fun!

Find out more about all of our taster classes here or read on to see what we have planned!

Cross Stitch Hearts with Chloe Hardisty

Learn to stitch one of Cotton Clara's signature cross stitch hearts! These lovely little hearts are made with wool felt and wool yarn and you'll have several colours to choose from. They are fun to make and look great decorating your home!

Hand-Built Ceramics with Sarah Jeffrey

Join us for an introduction to hand-built ceramics! You’ll learn how to pinch, coil and shape clay to make a pot which you can then take home and paint once it’s dry. We’ll be using air-dry clay so no need for a kiln! Suitable for absolute beginners.

Linocut Printing with Kate Guy

Learn about relief print-making and print your very own summer bouquet! You'll have the opportunity to print from a selection of Kate’s carved linocut blocks, experimenting with a range of colours, including gradient roller technique. Printing on high quality art paper, you will have your own individual artwork that you can take home that day, ready to be framed!

Modern Calligraphy with Suzie Dicker

Modern calligraphy is perfect for all; its relaxed approach enhances your natural hand writing style to create a unique and beautiful lettering form that is totally individual. Led by Suzie Dicker, founder of luxury stationery brand A L'aise, this taster workshop will guide you through making your first stroke to writing beautiful quotes that will be lovely enough to hang on your wall at home!

Papercutting with Zoe Bateman

Learn how to create a colourful greeting card using paper cutting and layering techniques! You'll have lots of papers and patterns to choose from (or create your own!) to create your own fun card to take home!

Bargello with Zoe Bateman

Bargello is a colourful, retro style of needlepoint that uses vertical stitches and geometric patterns for a very striking result. It's fast, fun and beginner-friendly. In this workshop you'll learn the technique while you stitch up a sample square you can turn into a wall hanging or frame at home!

And if you want to take them all but can't decide which one to do first, we have a offer just for you! Take all SIX mini workshops and SAVE £15! Feel free to bring snacks or lunch to munch on between your marathon crafting session! This is the schedule for the day:
