〰️ "Really enjoyed the workshop Sarah. I learned a lot and you made the Irish side weave really easy, which I was not expecting! Thankyou so much." Rosie, December '25, Shoulder Bag Workshop

"I thoroughly enjoyed my day making a shoulder bag from scratch! Sarah was a talented and exuberant teacher which made the day race by - I was so surprised that I had actually made a finished bag at the end of it! We were lucky to be a small group so we got excellent guidance from Sarah…. especially when started bending the wrong pieces! There was a fantastic lunch available too - very tasty!
