Bettyjoy Autumn Craft Workshops in Sheffield

Its almost 9 months since my little W was born and in some ways in feels like time has flown past but at the same time it also feels like she has been part of our family forever.  And so, as the end of my maternity leave looms I don't have a job to go back to so I have created one! Running workshops again, something I love doing - imparting my crafty knowledge and hopefully getting people inspired to get creative and experiment.  

I have rented a workshop space at Bank Street Arts in Sheffield City Centre in order that I can run workshops in my own space and keep all my materials in one place.
