Ana Rocha Biography-
My name is Ana and I have been a paper crafter for 7 years now. I absolutely love scrap booking and card making! I have lived in different countries: Canada, UK and Brazil. This experience provides me lots of inspiration to always try something new and fresh. I have been working with the business side of paper craft for quite a while now and also have two books published and my own line of paper. I love teaching and design the most. My motto: knowledge is only useful if we can share it. Please visit my website for more info on my work.

Time for you

We have it on good authority that we have the best workshop in the country (Jenny from Hobby Art said so!) and we are happy to share it with you, so inspired by the popular scrap booking ‘crops’, this will be a chance to come along with whatever paper craft projects you are working on and get help, advice, the chance to try the tools in our workshop, and all in like minded company!  Please note that this is not a led class and so there is no tuition, but we are here to help advise and show you how to use the tools that we have available. We will take it in turns to be in the class working on something of our own. Whatever we are doing if it takes your fancy we will be happy to share the techniques, ideas and information with you.

As space is limited please book in advance. You do not have to stay for the whole time but you are welcome to do so.
