WORKSHOP DATES AND VENUES

After running successful workshops based in various venues in Ireland for 4 years, I have returned to the UK and will be setting up a workshop date during late 2018, so please keep checking back or contact me if you would like to be on my notification list.

 If you are interested in attending a workshop and finding out more or would like a demonstrator for your craft group, please email me at jessk1001@yahoo.co.uk

Workshops are suitable for the intermediate or advanced crafter. Attendees will need to know the basics of matting and layering and measuring/cutting card stock and card blanks to attend.
If you are a beginner and would like an introduction to card making before attending a class please feel free to contact me for a crash course beforehand

Workshop Information:

for an idea of what we make in workshops, click here.

• Workshops spaces are filled on a first come, first served basis and places limited so I can get around to everyone and allow time for sharing hints, tips and tutorials.
• Full day workshops contain a minimum of 4 projects, mainly cards but also another papercraft project like favour boxes, bags or other dimensional objects, depending on the time of year.
• Project kits contain everything needed to make the card, with the exception of glue, double sided tape, foam pads and colouring tools for images - see what you need to bring below.
• The day is informal and you can work at your own pace!
• You will be given the opportunity to use inks, stamps and embossing / die cutting tools and machines during the day.
• Depending on the season, and the theme for the day, the cards will be made using a mixture of die cuts, Rubber stamp / digi images and decoupage.

Note - I respect digital artists' usage policies and where digital crafting products are used in workshops, I have sought permission from the artist directly - digital images and papers should not be shared without express permission from the artist.

If you wish to share / use digital images from the Internet, ensure they are copyright free or you seek permission from the creator.
