Craft Workshop Facilities
Our purpose built studio is on the first floor with spectacular views out over the fields to Carsington Water. It is a bright and airy space with good natural light. Our library of art, craft and design books is available for reference. On certain courses, residential customers are welcome to use the studio space in the evening.

Artists/Tutors
All our tutors are professional artists/craftspeople, handpicked for their specialist knowledge and experience in their own fields. The emphasis is on providing high quality tuition in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Group sizes are kept small (maximum of 8 students to one tutor) to ensure comfortable workspace and plenty of individual attention.

Lunch and Refreshments
A delicious light lunch is included in the course fee. This is typically homemade soup with bread from our local bakery, cheese board and fresh salads (homegrown when in season). Coffee and chocolate biscuits are offered mid-morning with tea and cake served in the afternoon.

Accommodation
Accommodation is available on site at Godfrey Hole House or at the numerous guest houses and B&B's in the surrounding Derbyshire Dales area. Click here for more information.

Hours
Courses generally run from 10.00am to 4.30pm with an hour for lunch. On 5-day courses the Wednesday afternoon is untutored time, leaving students free to explore the local area or continue working in the studio.
