Workshops & Events
All workshops are held at Art from the Heart studios, which is based in Harrogate and are available for participants that are 16 and over. The studio is based next to our shop, so you can also have an all important browse while you attend.
.
All equipment is provided, unless stated in the workshop description. There is no need to bring any supplies with you, unless stated - we do that for you! The very important tea and coffee is also provided to keep you fuelled for the day. Each workshop will allow a break for lunch and you can either bring your own or we are in the same building as Indulge Deli, who serve a range of sandwiches, salads, soups, jackets and more.
.
The studio is on the first floor, but we do have a lift at the far end of the building for those that need access. There are male and females toilets located on the first floor, along with an additional disabled toilet on the ground floor.
.
For workshops starting at 10am, the shop will open from 9:30am, so please come in and register with us before the workshop starts (first door on the left). The studio will open at approx 9:45am and the workshop will start at 10:00am.
We are very honoured to be hosting the Traveler's Company Stamp Caravan in 2025 and look forward to welcoming you into AFTH HQ for a very exciting event!
What is a Stamp Caravan?
The Stamp Caravan is an exclusive event only taking place in select retailers globally. It’s a chance for fans of the brand to personalise their TRAVELER’S Notebook with this set of unique stamps that has travelled from country to country, all the way from the TRAVELER’S factory in Japan.
Through the event your customers can witness the capabilities of TRAVELER’S Notebooks, the true appeal of a TN is that they can be fully customised.

Also, if you can keep a secret, I will have brand new Dylusions releases for you all to play with…shhh!!

The word collage brings a certain image to mind but this is collage with a difference. Most of us have lots of painted scraps and transparent overlays lying around in our box of things ‘too good to get rid of’ but then they usually lie there neglected until we get sick of them and throw them away. Kate is going to show you how she uses these scraps to create larger scale art journal pages, using up lots of leftovers to create something to be really proud of. And finally we’ll add some stamps from Kate’s *new* collection for Paper Artsy (shhhhh!)
If you don’t have scraps don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of opportunity to create some!
A great way to welcome spring and look forward to summer, with a truly mixed media class with a focus on flowers and beautiful blooms.
(But hang on a minute ... Kate hasn’t got any floral stamps? Shhhhh ;-) watch this space …)
We’ll work in art journals and also play with projects, and we’ll focus on brilliant bright colours and balanced neutrals for a perfect overall feel.
Paper Artsy NEW Release!
Kate will have a totally brand new release from Paper Artsy (just released this week!) with three new stamp sets and three new stencils … but Shhhhh! we can’t tell you any more just yet. But we can tell you that it will be the usual colourful mixed media shenanigans, a variety of projects, and some *new* ways to make backgrounds.

There is something so irresistible about creating small things, but this is smaller than small … this is teeny tiny! Such a very enjoyable way to create, and also a great stash buster. We’ll have a variety of projects on the go – mini concertina books, matchboxes, teeny weeny books (so a bit of book binding), collage on postage stamps … maybe even a tiny leather cover to house removable inserts. We’ll have collage bits, washi, vintage papers and stickers to use on the day but do feel free to bring your own precious stash of bits along to use!
