On the day, there will be two sessions, a morning and an afternoon session, in each a different project will be taught step by step. All materials and specific tools will be provided. CRAFTING WORKSHOP LEADERS Leonie Pujol is a crafter, tutor, author, and TV presenter. You can watch her on Hobbymaker as well as on Youtube and other social media platforms. Leonie started with a simple love of making things since childhood. As she grew up, this increased into her wanting it to develop into a business, so she started to travel around the country doing craft fairs with her sister. A job at a craft shop in Lancashire soon followed, as well as multiple magazine articles, book deals, teaching at retreats, and more. One thing led to another, and Leonie ended up demonstrating and selling craft products on QVC as part of the Dawn Bibby team. From there, Leonie became a presenter at Create and Craft, the first Craft TV shopping channel in the world. Leonie has stayed in the craft tv industry but moved channels to work at other channels, currently demonstrating her own company (Art Inspirations) as well as others. Leonie also consults, designs, and demonstrates for AALL & Create, a leading manufacturer of stamps, stencils, and other mixed media craft products. Paula Pascual is a paper craft designer, tutor, and author. You can watch her on Hobbymaker as well as on Youtube and other social media platforms. Like many other crafters, Paula's love of crafting started in childhood, heavily influenced by her artist dad's studio full of papers back in her native Spain. The move to the UK in 2002 meant the opening of a professional crafting career, which started at a local craft shop teaching and guiding crafters on techniques and products. Magazine articles, five books, and product design soon followed, as well as the opportunity to join Leonie and Dawn Bibby on QVC mostly behind the scenes. Paula has worked with companies like SIzzix, Tonic Studios, and more, and she was part of the TV presenting team at Hochanda and Create and Craft. Currently, Paula works with Lisa Horton Crafts developing craft products as well as part of the education promotional side of the company.
