Ruby is simply awesome! Highly creative, patient, easy to be around and organised. I attended one of her sewing workshops and she created a lovely, friendly relaxed environment where I was able to learn a new skill without feeling awkward or self conscious about not knowing how to sew.

I have attended several workshops organised by Ruby  which I really enjoyed, she provided a very cosy atmosphere where folk were free to express themselves every town needs a Ruby to bring like minded people together and make good things happen

I love Dotty's workshops, attended lots! It's just great spending time with like minded folks in a relaxed, cosy, creative, uplifting and supportive environment. I've made friends as well as crafty creations and always look forward to going to have a good laugh, a yummy cake and learn a new skill. Great value for money too...if you need cheering up go and join in!
