There are two large well appointed studio spaces and a third room where refreshments are laid out.
I had a sell out class - and all my ladies were keen to make the most of their day. Started with my crash intro to the world of cut outs various and assorted, wood, metal, historic and international, the some resource sheets to practice with, and then onto the designing of their own panel.
What is always so interesting and rewarding for me is the breadth of creativity that surfaces in these workshops. Unless we put time aside in our busy schedules, we rarely get to sit down and focus on our own creativity, so when we do it's a luxury and we want to make the most of it, and my ladies excelled!
