What Our Clients Say

Well that was just a wonderful few days. Thank you fro a lovely time and great company – very pleased indeed to have stumbled across you and your endeavours!

~ Anna

Just came home from a very enjoyable 2-day Ruskin lace course with Cotswold’s Textile Workshops. Karen, our tutor, was excellent – she taught a very mixed ability group (me being a first timer) with seeming ease. Jennifer, our host, provided us with wonderful home baked refreshments and the Corundum Museum was a great venue for our course. All in all I can’t recommend enough giving one of the courses a go… I’m looking forward to my next one already.

~ Jill

I just wanted to reach out and say how much I enjoyed Bryony’s Hare workshop last month. And a special thanks for all your wonderful home baked goods, and for allowing me to take some treats home with me. You were an excellent host and created a really lovely, friendly atmosphere.

~ Katy

Venue Details

Our beautiful venue for the workshops is the Winstone Learning Centre within the Corinium Museum in Cirencester. Cirencester is a bustling Cotswold market town with an array of interesting sights, shops, cafes and restaurants and has a variety of accommodation available to suit all budgets, if required.

Based in the ancient Cotswolds market town of Cirencester, there is much to explore in and around the area. It is home to some of the most unspoilt and historic villages in England, famed for their honey coloured stone, cosy pubs, and quaint cottages.
