Hill Top Haven is based in the middle of North Pennines, and is surrounded by hills, moorland and sheep. Hill Top Haven has a large terrace where you can soak up the rays (when we have them), and listen to the lapwingsw and curlews and sheep. A walk in the local countryside will inspire your art pieces.
For more information, go to www.hilltophaven.co.uk
We will spend the first day learning or practicing to dye skeins of yarn with a range of natural materials. On the second day we use our dyed creations to crochet a flower scene.
By dyeing and crocheting, we not only learn and practice techniques that can be as easy or complicated as you like - but it is also a form of slow creativity, where we can relax.
All materials are provided, including your skeins of yarn, crochet hook and dyeing materials.
Our creations are fuelled by healthy meals, topped with tea and cake to keep us going :-)
In the evening there's an opportunity for fun relaxation with wine and chocolate tasting (tailored to any dietary requirements)!
Arrival is 11am on the Wednesday, and departure 4pm on the Thursday - giving you as full days as possible with time to arrive and get home!
Spaces are limited to 6 - and we have three rooms available. If you would like to attend, and we are fully booked, we can help you find alternative accommodation, locally.
We have one room in the main house that can be booked as a twin - so you share the cost of the room. If you'd like this, please contact me.
We also have two rooms in our Annex (one single and one double) - which share a bathroom, but have access to an open plan, upstairs diner/kitchen/living room with wood burner and balcony.
Reserving your spot via this 'ticketed' event requires you to pay in full on booking.
However, if you'd like to pay in instalments, please contact me.
Your place can be reserved with a 50% deposit, with the balance payable 4 weeks before the start of the event.
Groups are welcome. Please do contact me. Groups of 4 or more get a 5% discount.
