KIND WORDS FROM OUR LOVELY GROUP ON THE CREATIVE WINTER WORKSHOP 2018…

“I adored this workshop! A few hours’ in a gorgeous setting, with lovely people, being creative and learning something new, that wasn’t connected to my business or my kids, yet at the same time felt productive and fun… could you ask for more? I left Nyree, Kate and Ellie’s Creative Workshop feeling more relaxed, rejuvenated and inspired than if I’d spent a whole day at a spa. I can’t wait for the next one!”  Charlotte Colliver 

"The proof of my endeavours was people not believing I'd made them and in one day!! Fabulous flowers, cakes covered in Christmas deliciousness, and tags and wrapping paper to impress on Christmas morning. A few hours well spent in a beautiful barn with like-minded people with the creative genius and passion of Kate, Nyree and Ellie, looking forward to doing it all again! "

Liz Parrington

“The activities we did worked really well in the time as everyone went away with something and a feeling of achievement. I loved everything we did and the creations I took home :)  I was a bit apprehensive about attending on my own as I knew no one there and hadn't done any of the activities before, however the leaders and other learners were all so lovely that I had no worries at all. Everyone made me feel really at ease and keen to do more similar things in future. I've already ordered some materials to make more gift tags at home!

Your ticket includes all of your materials, a super delicious vegetarian lunch with desert and a glass of fizz or alternative.
