I had a wonderfully relaxing day at the lovely Tanglewood Studio hosted by Rachel .
 We made Easter wreaths from foraged materials , relaxed in  the jacuzzi and pool and I loved the infra red sauna. We had a delicious afternoon tea in the garden to round off a marvellous experience. I can't wait to return soon.

Had a fabulous day!! We started by making a spring wreath, I've always wanted to do this but never gotten around to it. Its now hanging on my front door and looks gorgeous 

Then we had a yummy afternoon tea lunch, the cakes were particularly tasty!

And finally we had an afternoon chilling in the heated pool, sauna and jacuzzi! So nice to have something like that all to yourselves as it's in the garden of the tanglewood studio. 

Keeping my eye out for another craft spa day soon :)

Thanks Rachel for being a brilliant crafting teacher and spa host!

Lovely experience at Tanglewood! Rachel was an amazing host, super friendly and provided us with everything we needed. The property is lovely and relaxing, especially the heated pool and the sauna! We did the highland cow experience which was really fun and something different none of us had tried. Made for an unforgettable birthday.

I spent a wonderful day at Tanglewood Studio. The craft spa experience I booked was Powertex Highland Cow. On arrival I was met by the wonderful host Rachel, who explained all about the day’s activities. In the morning session we crafted a miniature version of a Highland Cow using Powertex. A medium that I had not used before, her explanation was very helpful. Then lunch  was then provided, which was excellent . The afternoon session was spent in the spa, was very relaxing. I highly recommend these craft and spa experiences day. I am looking forward to my next one.
