WORKSHOPS WITH Handmade Retreat

BUNTING

KANZASHI FLOWER MAKING

This proved popular in 2024 so in 2025 I am going to run this again. We will make & decorate a bunting, theme and colours are yet to be decided! Bunting will be approx. 1 metre long, great above a fireplace, on a banister, on the wall or above a door. For those that can't attend the workshop but want bunting kits, these are available to buy in both shops and on the website.

ADDITONAL WORKSHOP INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THOSE ATTENDING & BOOKING WORKSHOPS

All of the samples shown are handmade by me to demonstrate what we will be making. Where ever possible I will provide the same fabrics as shown but sometimes I have to buy alternatives if a specific one has run out or discontinued. In the event I have to do that, the colour theme will remain the same so that an alternative blends with your projects seamlessly. 


I am happy to change and make alterations to bookings up to the advertised cut off dates. However once the cut off date passes I will be unable to issue refunds. This is because materials are cut and sourced and preparation time is given to accommodate the number of people coming and can't always be used for something else. You are welcome to find someone to take your place if you are suddenly unable to attend. 


I always do my utmost to ensure I am available for all the dates advertised and have everything we need to work. To date, I haven't missed any. However if any rare circumstance should arise and I do have to cancel any workshops you will be given a refund if you have paid in advance. In the rare event I have to reschedule I will do my best to accommodate suitable alternate dates. 

Very occasionally a supplier will fail to deliver materials or not be able to supply for a number of reasons.  I will do my best to source alternatives but if I am unable to locate a suitable alternate it may be necessary to change the project. In any event, I will contact you, so please be sure to leave me your contact information.


Everyone works at a different speed so sometimes you may not complete your project in the given time, please don't worry. Whenever more time is needed I will do my best to make sure we fit in extra time for you to complete your projects. 


You can book your workshop directly through the website or in store at The Crafty Bug. 


If you have any questions, please feel free to get in contact and I will get back to you. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
