Escape to the Countryside…
Come and enjoy the tranquil surroundings of the Northumberland National Park. My workshops are held in my beautifully converted wooden barn, offering the perfect peaceful retreat to unleash your creativity. The welcoming studio is an inspiring setting for a day of paper-filled fun ! I’m based in a lovely village about 30 miles north of Newcastle, set in stunning surroundings so it’s definitely worth the trip. For those coming from a distance who need to stay there are plenty of options for Bed & Breakfast locally including at the village pub and in nearby Otterburn and Rothbury. I may also have some availability in my holiday cottage which is right next door to the Studio. If you are interested in combining a holiday with a course or two, please do get in touch. There’s more information about my cottage here : Townfoot Cottage.
