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 2019 and 2020. Do get in touch to discuss available dates etc.
