This is a fun activity in Edinburgh
From January 2027 I’m relocating my studio/workshop to Roslin (30 mins by bus to the south of Edinburgh) a few metres from the famed Rosslyn Chapel and Castle
(a wonderful opportunity to combine a workshop with a visit to the chapel afterwards. A discount voucher will be available)

Happy to travel to you. Prices and times are more or less the same and I’ll bring everything you’ll need.
