Our crafting weekends are held on the outskirts of the town of Antequera, in the foothills of the El Torcal National Park. El Torcal Park Nature Reserve is known for it's unusual limestone rock formations, within El Torcal Park's 17 square km are some of the most beautiful and impressive limestone landscapes in Europe. The whole area was under sea until one hundred million years ago. Then the violent movements of the Earth's crust forced it upward into hills and mountains up to 1.300 m, the limestone still kept its layered horizontal formation. Because of this, over the millions of years the rain and wind have been able to chisel away at these layers to form incredible shapes. It’s just impossible not to be inspired by such a beautiful backdrop.
Accommodation and Facilities
Our home consists of 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, lounge and dining area. Please note that the accommodation is in twin bedrooms. We have UK Sky television, and an outside terrace where, weather permitting, we can do some of our crafting. On site, there is a large swimming pool, restaurant and bar. However, as it is not heated, the swimming pool is closed off season.
We are only five minutes drive from the town of Antequera, where there are some fabulous restaurants and shops. Antequera also has some stunning architecture and a castle, so we will allow some free time for you to explore the town for yourself.
Please contact me for a detailed itinerary for the weekends, and a list of available dates..
Our crafting workshops are held on the outskirts of the town of Antequera, in the foothills of the El Torcal National Park. We're only 30-40 mins drive from Malaga.
I am also looking for some suitable venues on the Coast, so if you live anywhere along the Costa del Sol, and you'd like to attend, please email me to register your interest, then provided I have enough interest, I can set up some other venues.
Our workshops are suitable for all levels, as the classes are small, there's plenty of time for individual tuition, so you can go at whatever speed suits you.
The cost for the day is 100 Euros per person, which includes all materials and lunch. We start with coffee at 9.30, and the day will end at 5.30pm.
There are two different workshops available. Workshop 1 features altered slide mailers and a Stampbord hanging.
Workshop 2 covers cardmaking techniques, where we'll cover stamping techniques and some ideas for really original cards.
Although all materials will be provided, you might want to bring some of your favourite materials (such as your own scissors).
Welcome to my blog where I'll be posting information about my papercraft workshops both in the UK and in Andalucia.
We offer both crafting weekends with accommodation, and daily workshops for those of you lucky enough to live on the Costa del Sol. All workshops are suitable for any level of experience. I keep the classes small enough to give lots of individual attention so that everyone from total beginners to advanced crafters can get the most from the class.
For more information on both the weekends and day courses, please see below.
