The COWshop in the Custard Factory is, not to put too fine a point, a bloody busy place full of arty, crafty people beavering away making pretty things. Here’s some of the stuff going on:
They have two new Handmade Arts & Crafts market dates and would like to hear from artists/designer-makers who would like to hire a stall at £15 a pop.
There are new dates for textile workshops , crochet workshops and indulging weekend workshops in all sorts, from tinplate jewelery to fabric bunting. Email creativeopenworkshops@gmail.com if any of these tickle your fancy.
Keep your kids and yourselves occupied over the Easter weekend with their Easter Break workshops .
