Our 1st three months

As you may know we opened our doors early September to offer local people and visitors craft courses, parties and corporate events. Our 1st three months have very exciting and the next year promises to be even better. In these early stages there is experimentation with classes to see what is popular in a new area. Our most popular classes have definitely been dressmaking, soap making and beginners patchwork. All of these will be added next year and lots more new courses with a seasonal theme. Private lessons and group bookings have been more popular than expected so certain weekends will be laid aside for these throughout the year so if you want to learn a skill with friends book a private class or party soon! We were lucky enough to host a corporate day for Waitrose in October when 12 ladies came for a day of soap and candle making with lots of Devon cream teas. We have had a Christmas shop here for the last few weeks & have decided to keep a small selection of exclusive gifts all year round. We have also got teaching collaborations with arts spaces in Torrington & Okehampton for next year. With articles in several major magazines due in the early part of 2012 & lots more classes, party options & craft holidays to be announced it looks like a busy year ahead!
