The best way to get hold of me is via email as I am not always able to answer the phone - I am quite often up to my elbows in dye (or walking the dogs).

If you are wishing to place an order by phone, and I am unavailable, please leave a message with your phone number and name and I will give you a call back!

Studio Visits and Opening:

The studio is open for drop-in customers:

  • Thursdays (10am-4pm)

As we are a working studio you may find us in the middle of dyeing or show prep, so you are welcome to come and see what we are up to.

We have a small area of the studio set aside for a little ‘store’ section, but we can also make up your order (stock depending) while you wait.

Due to new family commitments we no longer normally open on Saturdays. However we do also offer ‘By Appointment’ openings for customers and groups that wish to visit on days where we are not usually open - weekends included in this. Please email to book a date with us.

How to find us: We are lucky enough to be part of the Croft Estate, so if you are coming from Leominster on the B4362, you will want to drive past the cross roads with the entrance to the NT Croft Castle entrance. We are the large church like building on the right. However, if you come through Lucton on the B4362 you will pass the exit to the NT Croft Castle on your left. Continue for 500yds and you will see a church like building on your left - this is us!

When you reach us, the Paint-Box entrance is the porch that faces the road, and you can park right by it (I should have parking signs out for you!).
