Hi I’m Cath I launched Beechwood Crafts in Spring 2019 to share my knowledge and love of all things crafting. Spinning is my speciality. As one of a few certified spinners in the country I love sharing that skill. I teach a range of classes for
beginners and more experienced spinners; along with other fun crafting workshops suitable for all. I have a range of fabulous guest tutors with an array of skills. Our courses have attracted a great deal of interest and in the four months since our launch we have met some great learners and made many new friends. To see what they have to say about Beechwood Crafts Click here https://www.craftcourses.com/providers/beechwoodcrafts/reviews
Maxine is this months featured tutor. "Hi, I’m Maxi and love being a tutor at Beechwood crafts. Cath is such an encouraging and knowledgeable teacher and working with her is a real inspiration. As a professional Needlefelter I specialise
in making realistic animals that delight my customers. So working at Beechwoods crafts enables me to share my passion and skills to enable others to bring fibre to life! The craft room is a great place to teach and looks out onto the beautiful garden. Beechwood crafts is such a positive and relaxing environment to work in, I always feel inspired when I come here."

We are always learning During our break over the summer I had a great time learning dyeing techniques for yarn and fibre. We will use some of the gorgeous dyed fibre on the spinning courses. I have also learnt about Shibori – a Japanese technique of folded and stitched cloth dyed with indigo to create fabulous patterns. I hope to add dyeing courses soon. Prize Draw Recommend a friend to receive this newsletter and I will enter you into prize draw for half day workshop of your choice. Draw on 10th September.
