After a few weeks of very random opening hours we are back open as normal now. Easter production didn't really happen so I am making Easter stock now but we are limited with what we have. I will post on our stories as we make and if you are interested please just reply with "mine" and I'll get back to you to confirm availability.

We have had a lot of enquiries about workshops. We are booked over the next few weeks with private events and workshops. I will put new workshops on in June and July and will publish on our website when we have the dates.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding 🙏 🙏

I was delighted, honoured and humbled to be invited to be part of a panel of speakers for Neo Communities for International Women’s Day.

International Women's Day is a global celebration of the achievements, resilience, and contributions of women across all fields of life.

The day was full of fun and laughter and beautiful thoughts from lovely women who are part of the Neo Community groups. It was great to take part in the activities at the centre and an inspiration to listen to the journey of the panelists thus far. Thank you Ellie, Angela, Jess and Molly for sharing your stories, Ema at Neo for inviting me, the community of women at Neo for making me so welcome and the food was 😋😋
