Workshop Calendar
See what’s coming soon and find the perfect one in the perfect venue for you
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!

About Ashfield Creates:
Ashfield Creates is a new, exciting programme designed to transform how everyone who lives, works and studies in Ashfield gets to access and participate in arts and creative activities.
Ashfield Creates are working with communities across Ashfield until Autumn 2027 to bring lots of amazing creative events to the district. We will be delivering and supporting local community commissions, regular creative classes, festivals, murals and more!
Once a month we will be bringing a different creative workshop to the ATTFE community hub to provide free and engaging creative activities and opening people’s eyes to the fun and learning that can be achieved through the arts.
About ATTFE & the community hub:
ATTFE – or Academy Transformation Trust Further Education – provides life-long education learning opportunities to local communities, with a focus on adult classes and useful life skills as well as accredited qualifications.
The community hub, based in the Idlewells shopping centre, is part of ATTFE’s continued dedication to supporting their local community. Those who attend the hub include elderly people from local care homes, or adults who are otherwise isolated within wider society, and so come to the hub to socialise, connect, and get out of the house.
