CRAZY MARY’S WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
I run several public workshops and ‘Stitching Sleepover’ weekend retreats each year and also run classes at some shows, the details of which can be found below. Most of my classes, however, are run for groups, clubs and individuals who book me privately to run workshops and/or demonstrations etc. I also organise and run projects for schools and community groups – see the gallery page for some examples. Please contact me via the contact page to book a class and to find out more about my events, or alternatively call me on 0781 1717437. If you’d like more information about my group bookings – a paper ‘catalogue’ of workshop projects is available on request via ‘snail mail’. Please scroll down for images of some the projects.
Bookings are now being taken for groups throughout 2020 and 2021. Do get in touch to discuss available dates etc.

Another successful weekend at Banbury House. Great fun and such a switch off from busy working weeks. Thanks Mary for making it such fun…we are already planning ahead for March!
Mary, I am programme secretary for Montpellier Quilters in Cheltenham and wonder whether you would be able to come along in 2019 to give an illustrated talk about your work. We meet twice monthly on a Thursday evening at 7.30 pm.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Evelyn Walton
Hello Evelyn, Thank you for your enquiry. Yes I would be interested but this isn’t the best communication link as it’s not private. Please go either to the contact page on this blog or my website http://www.crazymarycrafts.co.uk and I will reply that way. Looking forward to hearing from you, many thanks Mary
