We are delighted that Anne Dyer MBE (Founder of Westhope College) is running a straw marquetry taster workshop at Westhope College on Tuesday, 17th May. Anne is a specialist in straw marquetry and one of the few remaining known craftspeople in the UK to practise this traditional heritage craft. This beautiful panel was one of Anne’s many lockdown projects.
Full details of this workshop, ”A Gleam of Straw” are now available on our website here The workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some experience of straw marquetry who would like to refresh their skills. Places are limited and early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
