Events and Workshops

Dorset Button Online Workshops
After careful planning, and spending time sourcing the right equipment to include close-up demonstrations, I can now offer online Dorset Button workshops. To enable me to offer you the best possible workshop experience, I have restricted my participants to a maximum of four people for each 2½ hour session.
I will be organising a new programme of workshops in August. This will run from September/October 2021 to April 2022. Places will be offered in the first instance to all those who have subscribed to receive information before advertising on this page. To subscribe to receive information please go to my home page and complete the online form.

Keeping all my students safe is my top priority and, unfortunately, I am unable to arrange workshops in my studio because of the Coronavirus.
