  • 5/5 from Ginny Villanueva, attended Jun 2024: Gail is a delight, so patient & easy going. Full of knowledge she readily shared & very encouraging to this one enthusiastic but lacked confidence student (me!!). I had so much fun learning & creating with the beautiful materials she provided, I could’ve easily kept going. Finding the studio (Bag End) is like finding a box of treasures of absolutely amazing one of a kind items. I highly recommend this store for a unique gift of high quality hand made items. Well curated, and Natalie is passionate about sharing her love of her art, her shop, the artists and their items within.
  • 5/5 from Erin, attended Aug 2023: Another wonderful workshop with Gail. Already keeping an eye out for more. Was great to be able to learn 2 techniques over 2 days/workshops. Ended up with a lovely light and breezy scarf.
