Newsletter - December 2007

Welcome to our latest newsletter.  In this issue we are looking forward to Christmas and sharing our plans for the New Year workshop programme.

New Year Workshops Programme

In the New Year, we are introducing machine embroidery workshops. These will be taught on a one-to-one basis and can be arranged at times to suit you. The cost will be £15 per hour during studio opening hours, with a £5 surcharge to help cover heating costs etc,. if you would like to book an evening workshop.  Contact us for more information.
We are trying something new for our January and February workshop programme – over the next few weeks we are giving you the opportunity to plan the programme yourself! Simply choose your technique and phone us to arrange a convenient day and time.  We will take evening bookings, but these will incur a £5 surcharge to help cover electricity costs.
It’s difficult to be precise about the cost of individual workshops, but as a guide:

Christmas and New Year Opening Hours

Some of the Studios at Barleylands are now working to winter opening times, but Craft Arena will continue to open until 5pm throughout the winter, apart from a few days over Christmas when we will be closing at 4pm. 

We will be open as usual until Saturday 22nd December for those last minute presents, and will then close for our Christmas break.  We will be open again on Thursday 27th December for the start of our New Year Sale.

Club Meeting

Several people have expressed interest in attending a stitching/textile art club on a regular basis for an evening during the week here at Barleylands.  Please let us know if you would be interested in this, and whether you would prefer to meet once or twice a month.  If there are enough people interested, we may be able to begin in February or March.

We look forward to seeing you during December.  If you can’t make it until the New Year, have a very happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Don’t forget our SALE starts on Thursday 27th December at 10 am.  Arrive early to catch the best bargains!!

Best wishes,

Denise
