New Classes and Special Offers at Crafts Bee
00New Classes and Special Offers at Crafts Bee Its been a busy month getting all those classes for the early part of next year onto the timetable and we are delighted to announce two new classes and two special offers. Wendy Arnold Dean joins us as a Mosaic tutor and for the sewers we have a class to introduce you to overlockers. Mosaic Classes at Crafts Bee We are delighted to welcome Wendy Arnold-Dean as a new tutor to Crafts Bee. Wendy has a passion for mosaic and will be teaching workshops in the new year. Wendy is a fully qualified and experienced teacher and trainer. Wendy came across mosaics almost by accident and soon developed a passion. As well as teaching, she previously spent over 10 years developing and writing training and educational materials and now works full time on mosaic making and teaching. Her work includes a mixture of her own pieces, private commissions, large mural projects with schools and community groups and running workshops and parties. Wendy loves to teach all ages and says mosaic is the ideal medium for everyone as you can produce a lovely result regardless of previous artistic experience. Come and give it a go! Click here for details of Wendy’s classes. New Overlocker Class An overlocker (or serger) is a separate machine from a sewing machine. It sews using three or four threads and will stitch your seam, neaten it and cut off excess fabric at the same time to give a neat professional looking finish to your sewing. No more zig-zag stitch to finish your edges! It you are thinking of buying an overlocker or have one and are not sure how to use it this is the class for you. Click here for more details.

Essential Kit! It can be daunting to work out what equipment you need to have when staring out with Sugar craft as there are so many products available. I am a true believer in only buying what is necessary, using tools for more than one job and making use of household items! In each newsletter I will try to give you tips on what it is good to have. I am starting off by recommending some essential items. Artist palette knives Lidl does a fantastic set in a zip up case for about £5/6 keep your eyes open for when they have craft items in stock. A good quality craft knife This can be bought from any good art stationer or craft shop and is one of my most used items! Paintbrushes Perfect for adding fine detail, applying sugar glue and of course painting and dusting. Have a selection of different sizes to hand including some very fine ones. Can be bought from art shops or picked up quite cheaply at places like The Works. I would recommend nylon bristles and plastic handles for ease of cleaning. Rolling pin If you are a keen cake decorator a non-stick rolling pin is a great investment Cake Craft World in Bromley/on-line has...

First Pictures of the New Sewing Studio
00It’s all change at Crafts Bee. The sewing lessons are moving. But don’t worry they are not going very far just to their own dedicated studio upstairs. The room was painted a couple of weeks ago and this morning the furniture arrived. The tables have now been assembled and Mhairi and I have been moving them around the room to get the best layout. Moving the sewing to another room will enable each person to have their own table to work on and more space during courses. The chairs arrive tomorrow and there is still lots to do but here are some pictures so far. ...
