WORKSHOPS<br />
………………………<br />
Meet the Tutors<br />
Part 2<br />
Here at <strong>Rowan</strong> we are passionate about passing on hand knitting and crochet skills. This is reflected in<br />
our very successful workshop programme which has been running for many years. The programme<br />
provides great opportunities to learn a new skill, brush up on an existing skill or simply enjoy spending<br />
the day <strong>with</strong> like-minded people!<br />
Expert advice and guidance is provided by our team of <strong>Rowan</strong> workshop tutors who offer a wide range<br />
of both knitting and crochet workshops, from the very basics of ‘Learn to’ through to ‘Professional Finishing’<br />
and ‘Design’.<br />
Our tutors have a wealth of knowledge to share and genuinely enjoy the opportunity to pass on their skills.<br />
A <strong>Rowan</strong> workshop is an experience that time and again many people choose to repeat knowing that they<br />
can develop their skills in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.<br />
In the last issue, we caught up <strong>with</strong> some members of the team to find out what they enjoy most about<br />
being part of the <strong>Rowan</strong> workshop programme, what their <strong>Rowan</strong> favourites are, and of course the<br />
question that we all want to know the answer to…what they have on their needles at the moment! In this<br />
issue we meet four other members of the team and put the same questions to them.<br />
