Grand Opening of my new Studios
Well its been a while and a lots has happened since I last wrote.
I have a new blog on my website so I will sporadically update both here and there as I am a bit rubbish at this but the biggest news so far is I have moved studios.
If you follow my website, fb or Insta you'll know this so after 19yrs 17 of those in my old studio I have moved. From Sept 2019 I moved to Lomeshaye Business Village to a larger space with a dedicated workshop room.
My new studios are
Fired Up North Studios
Unit 25 Lomeshaye Business Village
Turner Road, Nelson, BB9 7DR
AND tomorrow is the Grand Opening
1-4pm
All Welcome
And if you can make it there is a £5 off any workshops booked on the day

bring them to life.
Participants will learn the basic skills involved
in creating clay tiles. We will be using a porcelain clay suitable for
