Crafting At The Cottage
Whether it’s paper cutting, patchworking, or creative textiles, my courses give them a contemporary spin and makes learning a rewarding and fun experience. I offer a range of inspirational courses and workshops which can be tailored to suit you.
I have also designed and produced a range of eye catching printed items based on my typographic paper cuts available in the shop.
My name is Christine Green and I look forward to helping you find your creative side!

About Me
Daughter of graphic designer parents, niece of a photographer, painter and printmaker, granddaughter of a wedding photographer and painter, my destiny was set very early on by the influences of my forebears; I was going to be arty; speciality unspecified and to be honest that’s how it has been throughout my life.
