Holiday Workshops for Children (see above)Usually mornings 10-11.30am, in half terms and christmas/summer holidays
Each workshop is treated as an additional and separate opportunity to learn from the weekly clubs. A project will be chosen (not all pupils have to do the same) and this can be dependent an oncoming event, a Halloween or Easter theme or a beach bag for the holidays for example. If there is something you particularly want to make such as a gift for someone, you can make it in one of our workshops or have a private lesson. Holiday workshops will be posted above when scheduled.
All materials and equipment are supplied for the above classes and are held in my dedicated workroom in Kings Hill or the Kings Hill Community Hall (addresses are given when your booking is made). Please book early and in advance to avoid disappointment because spaces are limited.
