New Hot Textiles Courses in Frenchie France for 2012

Lesley on the left and Sue on the right

This is just a quick blog to say that Sue and I have sorted out the dates for the workshops in France for 2012. We have also been eating and drinking rather a lot 'Quelle surprise'!!! Sue, Lesley and I lived together at college THIRTY FOUR YEARS ago - which is amazing as we are all only 36 - Ho Ho!!! 
Sue is the proprietor of Kanagaroo the mail order company for knitting yarns and accessories. She also offers and teaches Learn to Knit workshops in France in case any of you are interested. see www.kangaroo.uk.com

The holiday workshops Sue and I have thrashed out over several glasses of wine are Back To Basics workshops with a little local flavour thrown in. Follow the link at the end of this post to find out more. Because there is only space available for a small number of students I thought it would be a good idea to teach beginners on these workshops as we will all have more time together.

A five night holiday in the beautiful Charente-Maritime department of France (see the venue here). The cost of the holiday includes full board and wine with evening meals, all workshops, materials and transfers from local airports or train stations. Spend time learning new skills in the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of La Verderie. With an intimate group of just 4/5 students this would be a great chance to take a break and discover a new way of working in textiles.
