All materials are provided, just bring an apron.
Images for animals will be available to work from but why not bring along a photo of your own pet for inspiration?

Where are Workshops Held?

Unless otherwise stated, our workshops take place in the spacious, light-filled gallery room on the first floor of Just Makers in Craven Court, Skipton.

Please note that the workshop room is accessed via one flight of stairs. Toilet facilities are available on site.

What Do I Bring?

Just bring yourselves!
All materials will be provided unless we let you know otherwise.

We’ll have refreshments ready for you on arrival. If your workshop runs all day, please note that lunch isn’t provided. You’re welcome to bring a packed lunch or visit the various tea rooms and coffee shops very close by.

If your workshop is likely to get a bit messy, we recommend wearing something you don’t mind getting creative in!

Car Parking

Car parks are available very close to Craven Court. The closest car park is High Street Car park (BD23 1ED) and we are a 5 minute walk.
