This autumn and winter, learn how to create a table that feels modern, natural and beautifully seasonal.
Join us @cotswoldfair for an intimate workshop dedicated to effortless tablescaping with British flowers and foliage. We’ll explore simple, contemporary arrangements using garden-foraged foliage and dried flowers for rich texture and pops of colour.
During the session, you’ll create your own floral bowl or bud vase arrangement to take home, along with miniature dried flower gift toppers that add a thoughtful finishing touch to your seasonal table.

Autumn & Winter Tablescaping with British Flowers & Foliage: 📍 The Christmas Cotswold Fair, Todenham Manor Farm GL56 9NW 📅 Thursday 12 November 🕚 11am-12pm

Booking essential at www.cotswoldfair.com/tickets

We’re delighted to welcome @vigourandskills, champions of craftsmanship and the extraordinary makers they represent, to the Fair. They’re bringing a programme of hands-on workshops, each led by makers who love sharing their craft. Swipe through to meet the makers.

You could make a wreath, print your own crackers and cards, shape clay ornaments, stamp a leather keyring, dress a table with winter botanicals and so much more besides.

Each session is an hour of calm in the merriment, between browsing the marquees. You’ll learn something new, take home something made by your own hands, perhaps tuck it away as the most thoughtful gift of all and leave feeling rather pleased with yourself.

intimate in style, there are limited spaces per class so book in good time to secure your spot. The full programme is waiting at our link in bio.

📍 Todenham Manor Farm, near Moreton-in-Marsh
🗓 9 –12 November 2026

Venice trip part 1….

Believe it or not, these are just a few of the photos taken during the @homofaber exhibition visit I made in Venice a week ago today with my lovely mum! Such an amazing exhibition showcasing beautiful craftsmanship from around the world in a stunning setting, what’s not to love? ❤️ see my latest Blog (link in bio) about the experience if you’d like to know more. I’m already planning to go back for the next show in September 2028! 👩‍🎨🧵🛠️🏺🎨
