Annabeth Orton has been running a group of artists and craft workers for several months. We meet monthly at MadLab in Manchester and would like to encourage others to join us. There are no fees of any sort nor is there any criterion for joining. We talk about our areas of work and receive back encouragement and suggestions for taking it forward. Annabeth writes up the proceedings on her Glittermouse website and you can get a feel for what the meetings are like by clicking on the following link:

They are all Wednesdays and we will meet at 7pm at MadLab.

I give courses for up to four people at a time in my home studio in the High Peak. I will tailor the course to suit your requirements and I will try to accomodate your timing whether it is midweek or at weekends. It would be particularly suitable for groups of two to four who would be able to travel together. However, you are also most welcome to come on your own. Email me at: tiksha@btinternet.com or phone on 01298 70237 to discuss your requirements.
The basic courses offered are:
Book making using recycled materials
Art Journaling – rubber stamping
Art Journaling – page creation
Printing on textiles and making a collaged wall hanging
Livening up watercolour with mixed media
Other courses can be designed to meet specific requirements
Studio visitors will also be able to view my two acre hillside garden which features rhododenrons and other ericacae in the spring followed by large herbaceous beds planted in the Oudolf prairie style in summer and autumn.
