Workshops

Hello everyone from an infrequent poster in the Auvergne. I am looking to go on courses, anywhere in France. I am going on a shabby chic furniture course in September and I am always looking for something interesting, do you know anyone who runs cookery courses, upholstery, anything except painting, I cannot draw a straight line to save my life. Thank you in advance.

You're welcome! The lady who runs it Danuta is lovely - really lovely and I would love to go myself. (That is far too many love's in one sentence but I'm too tired to think straight...) Any chance of a profile pic of your good self in return? :)

Thank you Catharine, I have emailed them, the site looks pretty good.

What a lovely website, it looks wonderful but it's not really what I am looking for but thank you for your help.

Hi Judith,

my hubby does printing courses:

don't let the fact you cannot draw put you off - you need no drawing ability to do this kind of printing, just an idea which can be helped along. We can do a one-off for you if you are interested. Take a look around the woodcuts website and see if anything captures your imagination. I have made a woodblock print myself with no experience - it pulls a lot of skills together and it's very relaxing to carve the block, almost like a de-stress.

How about this?
