Workshops
Come along to the Paper and Smiles Studio and join in with one of our art and craft workshops, most of our workshops are suitable for all ages and abilities - please check out the full detailed description on each listing for more specifics.
The Studio is located in a peaceful corner in the grounds of Woodborough Garden Centre - you can make a full day of your visit as there are lots of other independent businesses onsite including antique and gift shops,a beauty salon and hairdressers, cafes and of course the garden centre itself.
I am delighted to say that I will also be welcoming some guests into the studio - these are clearly marked below with links to the relevant website for booking. All of my workshops can be booked via the web shop or directly with me in the Studio.
