Autumn 2011 Classes in Friendly Plastic
Here is the list of classes that I can offer you for the Autumn. Perhaps I will get to meet you there.
All classes, with the exception of the Caernarfon class can be booked directly with the venue. Prices vary depending on the venue. Class sizes are not large, so places are limited, but you do get lots of attention!

For those of you who are wondering about Coles Sewing Centre – it used to be called The Husqvarna Studio, they have just changed the name. Same great venue with lift, great sandwiches and friendly staff.
What a gorgeous selection of samples for your classes Liz. Sadly none are near enough for me but I know you’ll have plenty of happy students.

Are you coming to do classes at the Craft Barn Liz?

Ask Sandy to give me a call to arrange something. It would be fabulous, but it is a long way to come, and we would probably need to do two days of classes to make it economical to run.

Dear Liz, I agree, wonderful classes, great examples, sure wish we could do a friendly pyjama party sometime! Just like the one in Colorado last year!
All the best – SOMETIME!
