The Craft Barn

The Craft Barn is a community arts & crafts venue in the heart of the village of Hadfield, Glossop, Derbyshire. The former grain store and workshop has been beautifully restored to provide a bright & welcoming space for creative activities and they have kindly allowed me to run some of my printmaking workshops there.

We will be working upstairs in a large room which runs the length of the building with high ceilings and plenty of light. There is a small kitchen area where tea and coffee can be made.

A maximum of 6 people allowed per workshop at this venue.

I did the linocut workshop on a Sunday in Hadfield with Lucy Gell. I would very much recommend Lucy’s workshops. I had a fantastic time. The group is not too large and therefore we’ve got plenty of opportunities to get Lucy’s guidance. Lucy teaches with a lot of enthusiasm, expertise, patience and, despite not drawing, not doing any particular craft nor arts of any sort, I could make a really lovely print: Lucy knows how to guide, advise and reassure. The workshop is also excellent value: spending so many hours with an artist and going back home with 12 cards we’ve made are really worth the price asked. I loved that day; it was a real break and felt rewarding. I have booked the same workshop and will do it again in a months time! Many thanks Lucy for your generosity and passion.

I shall see you again end of November! Have a lovely few week and thank you again for a really enjoyable day on Sunday.
