Sharing the joy of crafting

About

I absolutely love the feeling of sitting back and admiring something I've created! It's amazing to have something tangible to show for time well spent. With so many different crafts to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. That's why I started our crafting journey with my love of creating mosaics! For Hillgrove, mosaic bird baths are a standout piece that provides our feathered friends with access to fresh water all year round.

​

Join us with a group of friends as we can easily accommodate up to 6 people in a session. We provide all the necessary materials and safety equipment for all courses, and no prior experience is required as we offer full guidance throughout your time with us.
