TOM

from

SPLODGE AWAY
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.

Joanna Sheen – Thomas Kinkade CD Project Book and Stamps

The beautiful stamps will let you make wonderful Christmas cards and projects.  Use your Spectrum Noir pens, watercolour pencils or distress inks to colour them.  Or why not stamp onto Shrink plastic to make fabulous embellishments, phone charms or keyrings.
