Maker's bio
Situated in a tranquil location on the fringes of the Lake District in north west England, we have been hosting a Quirky range of workshops since 2005. We are now proud to offer over 140 Arts, Craft and Heritage Skills Workshops each year, led by an incredible and talented range of local and national tutors, all experts in their field. We have two teaching studios, the 'Squirrel Barn' and the newly renovated, spacious and airy 'Swallow Barn', the latter of which, at 60m2 was very popular in the months post Covid, allowing 2m distancing, hand washing and two staircases. We have several garden teaching spaces too. Lunch (included) can be taken outside on the Tea Lawn in warmer months and teas/coffee with Aga home-baking is served at your desk.
Our days are considered real treats.

"First time at Quirky workshops and making silver rings. Had the best time and looked after by Annie with marvellous home baked goodies and lovely lunch. Melinda was a very patient tutor and helped where you needed it. Highly recommend taking any of the courses here, as it has a fabulous friendly vibe and some very funky chickens and gorgeously handsome Kofi. Xx"
"Wonderful course, everything provided & Helen the tutor was brilliant.
Nothing too much trouble & so helpful.
Venue was fab as usual.
Just the weather, snow ,but can't control that."
"A fabulous two-day course. Lizzy was an excellent teacher and so attentive to the various demands of the group. The Swallow Barn was a lovely comfortable environment, despite the atrocious weather outside. Annie's catering was plentiful and delicious. I'm so tempted to do the course again in the future."

"What a fantastic day of crafting in a beautiful setting! Helen, the tutor was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It was lovely to be taught how to make the felted robin using skills which can be adapted to make other things too. Annie kept us going with tea, coffee, delicious lunch and snacks. Thank you "
