Roadshow planning is now well underway and bookings are being taken for the 2-hour Craft Classes. Remember there are only 6 places in each class, so we recommend advance booking. The two confirmed classes are 'Free Form Knitting' with Helen Baker and 'Duckoupage' with Emma Woods. Classes are £10 and include all materials.
We also have lots of drop-in Workshops arranged: Shell decorated boxes, Cross stitch a shamrock (it is St. Patrick's day!), Mother's day papercraft, Needle felting, Children's crafts, Easter cards and Jewellery making. There is no need to book for these workshops. They cost £3 and last around 45 mins. All materials included.

We are very excited to let you know that we have been asked to provide the craft area for Folk in the Park in Brackley on Sunday 26th June, from 12 pm till 6 pm.
There will be a great variety of stalls and I am hoping to set up a crafting area, for people to come along and create something. Either bring your current project or have a go at something new.
Let's hope the sun shines and we can enjoy good music and crafts - what a brilliant combination!!

Thank you to all those who came to our Syresham Roadshow event. We had a lovely day and it was great to meet so many crafters and see so many people making!
We have now finalised the three 2 hr Craft Classes for the event in Croughton on the 26th March. They are:
Creative Socks with Polly: Learn to knit in the round to create seamless socks and find out how to adapt stitch patterns to knit it the round and design your own socks. This course will be tought on the right level for the participants, but some knitting knowledge is needed. Socks are not the ideal project if you have never knitted before! All materials will be provided to knit test pieces and you will take a basic sock pattern home with you, together hopefully with lots of ideas of how to adapt them for different sizes and patterns.
Beading with Sue Stallard: You will make a piece worked in Seed beads and pearls using a form of daisy stitch. All elements will be taught , all materials and full written instructions with clear diagrams will be given to each student, so if you don't finish it, you can finish at home.
Needle felting with Caroline: You will learn how to needle felt using natural materials. All materials are included in the course price.
To book your place on a course, which is highly recommended as there are only 6 places for each course, please visit the 'Roadshow' page.
