Our exciting news is, that over the summer lock-down we were super-busy renovating a listed first floor hayloft! We re-opened in July and this lovely new teaching space - the 'Swallow Barn' - is now a firm favourite with students and tutors alike.
At 60m2, it's a very Covid-safe, spacious studio, with separate up/down stairs, distanced tables and a projector for live streaming all our tutor demos. Our Craft days are better and safer than ever- and still with all the usual treats - now safely served on trays at your work desk or in the garden in summer! ☺️

So, 2021 we're ready!
. . . with lots of availability and poised to launch our fabulous new programme, but . . . rather than selling Quirky Courses or Christmas gifts that might be 'COVID-cancelled', we've concocted a crafty new plan for safer booking and gifting of our Quirky Courses over the coming weeks!
Read on ...
We've temporarily marked all of next year's courses as 'full' on our website, but only in order to activate a clever Waiting List system - so fear not, there are actually lots of spaces!
So, with your favourite 🍷 in hand, please sit back, relax, and mull over our 2021 programme. Simply pick out your favourite courses and sign up to 💚 those Waiting Lists! 💚 (the important bit). You can do this for friends and family too!
Just as soon as things are more certain and we feel we can run a course, we'll release each date 'one by one' with all its spaces. The minute we do, we'll email everyone on that Waiting List with the 'heads up', so you can quickly bag your place! Join as many Lists as you like - there's no commitment or money involved, and nor is there a 'priority order' as such. We'll send the email to everyone on that List - just remember, as soon as it arrives, it's ‘first come first served’ - so don't dally to secure your place!
The best Gift Option this Christmas??🎄
In honesty, while things remain so uncertain, we feel our Open Vouchers make the wiser, safer present - there's no chance of them being cancelled next month, plus they're now valid for TWO whole years! They will enable oodles of possibilities for crafting days out, with much to relish as options are explored and Waiting Lists joined! Once enlisted, relax, safe in the knowledge that favourite workshops are just a few clicks away. Hidden behind those 'FULL' icons are many spaces just waiting to be booked, so Voucher Holders joining Waiting Lists have a really good chance of getting on a course of choice. Open Vouchers are available 24/7 here.
When does Booking Open?
We hope to release a few March/ April dates between 9th and 16th December 🤞🏼 🤞🏼 and if you've enlisted as above, then you'll know as soon as we do! As a Voucher Holder, just reserve your place & select 'pay offline' and send us your voucher code by email.
We won't release any dates after Wed 16th Dec, so this means last minute Voucher givers/holders won't miss out on courses releases. We aim to be back in the office on Monday 11th Jan, by which time hopefully things will be clearer and more dates can be opened up for booking, enabling more vouchers to be used.
So, as always, we've a plentiful supply of inspiring new courses for you in 2021, from both the amazing tutors, who've been part of the Quirky Workshop team for years, as well the hand-picked new courses (some mentioned left) to add to the perennial mix!
Although lengthy, we hope the above makes sense - the safest way to avoid missing a space is join a relevant Waiting List. Also of note, we've recently started a 'bubble table' booking system, perfect for those able to sit close, enabling friends and families to enjoy workshops closer together, here in our new 'Swallow Barn!'
We hope you enjoy browsing our 2021 programme and please do get in touch if you've any questions. If you would like to pay in 2 stages, by BACS or cheque, that's no problem either.
With warm wishes for a healthy, happy and uplifting Christmas and New Year!
Annie, Morna and the Quirky Workshops Team
