A course where craft meets business

Join our group workshops where we offer you the opportunity to learn a new skill and meet like minded people sharing same interests. Group sizes all always kept small and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. You will get the opportunity to learn a new craft whilst exchanging ideas and build up social interaction with other attendees. Although acquiring a new skill in groups can sometimes be a daunting task, but it doesn’t neccessarily need to be that way when you receive plenty of individual support from your tutor. We will encourage you to turn your skills into a business by providing plenty of business advice and trade tips. Your strengths and weaknesses are addressed consistently and fully. Above all, enjoy some quality personal time away from the pressures of everyday life. Embrace the experience and treat yourself to the gift of lifelong learning, because you are worth it!
