| Owner
Ann Mayner has 25 years experience of patchwork. This is Ann's first business, and it is the fulfillment of a long-held ambition. She took the decision to open a shop in July 2005, and after a day spent searching for suitable premises, visited the café in the mill yard for much-needed refreshment. Unbelievably, there was an empty shop unit in the mill and it was the ideal size for the venture. The synergy between textile crafts and the historic cotton mill made it the perfect location. It is a great place to work and to visit! Ann has expertise in many patchwork techniques and is also knowledgeable about the history of the craft and about the place patchwork and quilting has in contemporary textile art. She gives individual tuition and also arranges regular practical workshops with visiting tutors demonstrating a range of techniques...an enjoyable, entertaining and productive way to spend a day. Workshop dates are available by email. There is free parking nearby and level access into the shop. Also on site are gift and book shops and two cafes. |
