latest news 6 June 2023

I’m getting ready for the International Festival at the ISB in Reinach this weekend. I have a stall there selling some of my handmade items – there will be crochet keyrings, cacti, soft plushies and lots more. The festival is on Saturday 10th June, 11am to 4pm, at ISB Reinach, Fleischbachstrasse 2, 4153 Reinach BL. There will be lots of international food options there too so pop over and check it out!

1:1 classes are all bookable as normal, but I’m not doing fixed date group classes at the moment. If you want to do a class together with a friend or friends then please get in touch and I can set that up for you.

Some other news is that I’m working hard on online courses for you! It’s going to take me a while, but there’s work in progress!

Covid is still about too so, if you feel unwell please don’t come to class. For the full policy have a read of the safety policy and terms and conditions too.
