Our 2 hour workshops are either mornings or afternoons 10.00am to 12.00pm or 1.00pm to 3.00pm. Our 4 hour workshops are run across the day from 10.00am to 3pm with a break for lunch at the Craigellachie Hotel for one hour at noon.

So all that remains is for you to take a look at the list of workshops on offer, make a couple of calls to friends and book yourselves in for a fascinating experience of creativity. After which you take your unique products home to wow your friends and family.
WORKSHOPS
· BUTTONS
Hand make your own Buttons to enhance any garment in your wardrobe or simply give it that designer look. This is my favourite workshop as it always gives amazing rewards for even the littlest amount of effort. Clearly the more effort the greater the reward. We offer this as at both 2 and 4 hour sessions.
· BEADING
Hand make your own jewellery using similar techniques to the buttons but thread them on to wire, ribbon, wool or elastic to create different effects. Never will you not have that right accessory again. Simply create your own special style and find the outfit to compliment it.
· DYEING
Hand Dyeing is a little bit messy which is mega fun and it takes a bit more time. We dye our own yarn for felting and spinning purposes but we also use some interesting techniques to dye our own handspun yarn. If you are interested in a dying workshop please call first to specify your requirements. This is only available on a 4 hour session as the process is time consuming but seriously rewarding. This is another favourite of mine.
· FELTING
Felting is a difficult workshop to scale as it is so individual and again it takes a fair amount of time to process. There are lots of things to think about and a fair amount of hard work involved. It is a good idea to come prepared to work out a little as felting is a physical process that involves quite vigorous work using the hands and forearms. What you create will depend on your ability, creativity and to some degree your energy. This is only available as a 4 hour session. Please call before booking to discuss options further.
· SPINNING
Learn to spin your own yarn on a traditional foot treadle spinning wheel. We offer basic instruction on how to prepare fleece for spinning and aim to get the coordination flowing so that you will spin and ply your very own yarn ready to be knitted into a truly special garment. Just how much we achieve depends on how quickly you pick it up and if you are able to book for 2 or 4 hours.
· KNITTING
Knitting workshops are for all levels be it complete beginner or advanced. We can also cover specialised subjects such as Sock knitting, Fair isle work, Aran knits or tips and tricks to help with pattern interpretation. Both 2 and 4 hour sessions available.
We look forwards to meeting you and helping you in learning your new skills. We are sure that you will enjoy your time with us and if you are staying for lunch you are sure to discover an interesting new place to enjoy good food in a fabulous setting.
