Hi Di
Is it possible to only attend one course, the flower sellers. I currently live in Austria but will be visiting my daughter during this time in the UK so I don’t require accommodation.
Embroidery has always been a passion, now that I’m retired would love to try my hand at it once more.
Many years ago I attended the first Inspiration Course in Adelaide Australia.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Brenda Löffler
