Here is the list of all the workshops that I will be teaching in the coming months, in the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Area. I will try and keep this list as up-to-date as possible, so that it only shows what’s coming up. If you belong to a community group and would like me to come and deliver a workshop for your group, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
All the workshops located at The Newstead Centre (Newstead Village), The Framework Knitters Museum (Ruddington) and Keycraft Garden Centre (Hucknall) can be booked directly with me via this website or via email / WhatsApp. Visit each event for more information.
All the workshops located at Nibbles, Needles and Hooks or at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway Station (in collaboration with Wild Roots Creatives) can be booked via their respective websites or by contacting them directly. All details are included in the individual events.
All workshops are beginner friendly, are held in small group settings of no more than 12 people per session (some are no more than 6 people per session).
Most workshops will include refreshments and sweet treats on the day and an optional participation to a “hidden” WhatsApp Group for additional support.
I hope to see you soon!
Christmas Tree Decoration (in aid of Hucknall Wildlife Group) at Keycraft Garden Buildings in Hucknall

Thurs 27th Nov Dorset Button Style Christmas Tree Decoration at Keycraft Garden Buildings (in aid of Hucknall Wildlife Group)
Welcome to my world! 🐸💚 For this last craft workshop, fundraising for the Hucknall Wildlife Group, I have decided to show you a little of my world – as in what I normally specialise in – but with a Christmassy twist of course!
Come and join me, Sandrine (The Frog in the Craft) at Keycraft Garden Buildings, Hucknall for a two-hour fun, relaxed and convivial workshop: Dorset Button Style Christmas Tree Decoration. I will show you how to make a Christmas decoration, complete with a tassel, using the Dorset button technique, a heritage craft that is over 400 years old. We will mostly use a wooden curtain ring and some bits of wool and ribbon, all things that you might actually have at home, if you wanted to add to your collection.
By booking your place on this workshop and attending it, you will be helping HWG greatly because I will donate a quarter of the fee to them! HWG is a not-for-profit, apolitical group, run by volunteers. All monies raised through donations help raise awareness and promote the causes of the group as well as protection of our local flora and fauna. To find out more, head to https://hucknallwildlifegroup.org/
It is suitable for beginners, so don’t worry if you have never heard of a Dorset button before, I will tell you more about it on the night and guide you all the way. You will soon get the hang of it. Just come and give it a go, have fun, relax and have a good laugh and experience the positive impact of crafting!
All materials and tools are provided as well as the tuition and printed instructions to take home.
