As so many of you like the format of Jo Channon’s visit we have now persuaded Tom to do a morning demonstration and those who want to learn more in depth techniques still have the opportunity to book onto the Masterclass in the afternoon.
As there will only be 12 places available for the Masterclass, and they are already filling, please book your place as soon as possible. 

Free Demo – 10:00am – 12:00am

Masterclass  - 1:00pm – 3:00pm - £20.00 payable in full on booking
Tom will not be at the Hobbycrafts show at the N.E.C so this is your chance to not only buy the products but also to have instruction from the Inventor.
Please ask in store for details.
