Hiya!
I’m Nicola and The Craft Studio is where I explore and share my creativity, passion for crafts and my love of colours and textures.
Since studying Textile Art at collage I always been drawn to raw and colourful fabrics. I have specialised in hand spun art yarn and art bats. Learning to spin my own wool was a wonderful experience. I love to hand dye my spun wool in bright colourways, based around the core colours of purple and blue. One of my favourite thing to do is taking something simple, like a sheep fleece, spin it, dye it and then knit or crochet it into something totally unique.
I am always learning, experimenting and pushing my creativity with new materials and techniques and I love sharing my enthusiasm with others in my programme of creative workshops.

My Girl Maggie
Meet company boss Maggie who is in charge of treat procurement and walks.
When she's not on company time, you'll find her snoozing in her blanket in the winter or hanging out at home with Wren the tortoise in the warmer months of the year.
In my spare time when I'm not in the studio I'm never far away from doing something creative.
Sewing is at the heart of much of the mixed media work and Inspiration for my next craft studio project is never too far away!
I have trained to repair and fine tune sewing machines and also offer this service to my customers.
