Maker's bio

Hello to you, who believes that making things with your hands is fun, therapeutic and hugely useful in today’s world. I have been running craft workshop for over ten years. I have had dozens of tutors here at the Blacksmith Shop Crafts sharing their skills and inspiring others to try different crafts. Hundreds of participants have benefited from this and many of them come over and over again. My sewing and knitting groups are well attended. I feel so happy to be working in crafts.

Anne reviewed: Beginner and improver sewing club in East Yorkshire

"My husband bought me a gift voucher for myself and 2 friends to spend a morning with Anna at the Blacksmiths crafts . We all thoroughly enjoyed it. It is situated in a lovely picturesque part of East Yorkshire. Anna helped us to tackle button holes and buttons. We all made a pouch with button fastenings for us to take home. Anna was very patient and informative. We also enjoyed the coffee and homemade cake. I would highly recommend to others. Anne"

Blacksmith Shop Crafts responded:

"Thank you Anne for remembering me with such a lovely review. I was delighted to be able to assist with the thoughtful gift idea from Keith, your husband, for you and your friends. I throughly enjoyed planning an activity around your chosen theme and then having you and your friends here for the morning sewing session. Thank you Keith, Anne and friends. Keep on sewing and please come back if you get stuck with anything else. Kind regards Anna"

Bernadette reviewed: Beginner and improver sewing club in East Yorkshire

"Perfect introduction to sewing. Anna was very welcoming and an excellent teacher. Both my daughter and I really enjoyed the course and it has definitely encouraged a new hobby for us . 10/10"

Blacksmith Shop Crafts responded:

"Thank you for your kind review Bernadette, it was a pleasure to meet you and Ellie. I enjoy sewing immensely, it has helped me to have an outlet to my creativity, clothe my family with one off, well fitting garments and it has equipped me with an ability to be a more thoughtful consumer. I am glad I have been able to assist you and Ellie on your way to having a great hobby, or maybe more than that in Ellie’s case. Thank you again and happy sewing. Kind regards Anna "
