I will be running a series of workshops at The Bill Shone Leisure Centre in Melbourne on Wednesday mornings. The first session will be held on Wednesday 2nd March from 10am - 12pm at £7 per session. All ages and abilities are welcome and I will be giving demonstrations using several different materials and techniques.
These will be very informal classes and you can have as much or as little tuition as you’d like. It is entirely up to you whether you would prefer to use materials that you feel comfortable with, or would like to have a go at things you might not have tried before.
You are also welcome to come to as many or as few sessions as you like. I have run workshops all over Derbyshire for the last 10 years and I happy to finally bring them to my home town on a regular basis.
Please have a look at the programme for the coming weeks and do get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book a place.. or simply turn up on the day!
