This is Exciting
So having paused my blog for a while and finally got myself an iPhone, I have discovered that I can blog from my phone and

Crafting At The Cottage
My name is Christine Green – I’ve been practicing and teaching paper cutting, patchworking, and creative textiles for many years, as well as taking on commissions.
I offer a range of inspirational and hands-on crafting courses and workshops all around the UK. My crafting classes are fun and interactive, they don’t require any special skills, just a willingness to learn something new – thanks to the wonderful students I teach, no class is ever the same, and it is a fantastic opportunity to do something different and meet a diverse range of people. Crafting allows you to express your creativity in a whole variety of ways and my contemporary spin on these traditional skills make my couses rewarding and memorable experiences.
I was delighted when the very lovely Katie from ‘Arnold’s Attic’ asked me if I would like to be interviewed for her Youtube channel. Two textile loving lasses from Rochdale, what fun!
Please do have a watch, ‘like’ and ‘subscribe’ and tell like-minded friends to have a look , thank you. More about Katie can be found on her website or on Facebook.
DID YOU SEE US ON THE BBC?

VISIT MY SHOP
Get SOMEONE something really Special
I design and produce a range of eye-catching and quirky prints, cards, bags and tea towels – all using my unique, typographic paper cut designs.
They start life as thumb nail sketches which are worked up to finished designs. I then cut them out of paper freehand using a scalpel blade. The finished cuts are scanned and coloured and sent off to the printers.
Visit my shop to see what’s available. Or attend a course and explore your own creativity!
I come from a creative family, my parents were both graphic designers, my uncle was a photographer, painter and printmaker, and my grandad was a wedding photographer and painter. My creative destiny was set very early; I was going to be arty; speciality unspecified and to be honest that’s how it has been throughout my life.
CRAFTING COURSES
I offer inspiring and highly creative courses at a variety of teaching centres across the UK or you can come to my delightful thatched cottage. Alternatively I can come to you. Expert tuition with a large dollop of fun thrown in suits both the crafting novice or more accomplished maker alike. I also offer talks to interested groups (for example the WI, U3A) and private craft workshops, these could be for a group of friends looking for a fun way of celebrating a significant occasion or just wanting to craft together.
