Due to my ongoing health issues mentioned on my about me page, I am not planning to return to teaching workshops away from home, traveling from group to group as I used to do. I just can't do the long distance driving any more, and my immuno suppressant medications mean I'm vulnerable to catching infections. If possible, I may do some one off short workshops or other events, but this depends on how well I am. I couldn't do any of the events above without the wonderful support of my husband, Glyn. Plus I now have the shop in Coupar Angus, so I need to be at home much more!
Any updates will also be announced in my newsletters, so please join my mailing list to hear the latest information.
