Hello reader
Our last Discovery Day is next week. For our final session we will be using our Shibori skills and experimenting with solar dyes and silk paints. This can be done on either white samples or we can over print on your existing Shibori samples. It will be a fun day.

Discovery Days 2024 is also now open for bookings - we will be discovering Polymer Clay.

Looking forward to seeing you.
