Made for you...
Every Christmas event is different, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all workshop. Whether you're looking for a relaxed two-hour embroidery session, a festive fabric printing workshop, or a drop-in activity for hundreds of guests, there's a creative option to suit your event.
And so you have all the information you need up top, sessions start at £160 for my time (up to half a day) and £5 a head for materials.
Below you'll find lots of different designs and session ideas as inspiration, and when you're ready to start planning drop me an email at hoopandfred@gmail.com
