Ministry of Mixology April 2016

Back from a frantic but fun-filled weekend at our second Ministry of Mixology event in Coventry. I think from the feedback I've heard so far, we did even better than last time! Here's a little video of some of the highlights.




Kate Crane and I taught sell-out workshops and we were joined by a host of talented artists who did amazing demos and make & takes on Saturday evening. 
To round off the fun on Saturday we had a raffle with prizes ranging from some handmade stamps by Kate Crane to a free place at the next Mixology UK event. The event had such a lovely atmosphere and it was great to see so many happy, smiling faces and so many people making new friends and taking away new experiences.

Di and Tony ran a wonderful retail shop on-site and judging by the state of the shelves on Sunday, there was plenty of shopping going on!

Di and Myself have to say a huge 'thank you' to the amazing team of helpers and demonstrators who gave their time voluntarily to help make this event even more fantastic. Massive thanks also to our sponsors Tando Creative, DecoArt, Stampendous and Craft Stamper magazine who helped enormously to give our event added value and keep our costs down. Last but not least, thank you to everyone who came to play this weekend - events are nothing without enthusiastic and creative delegates!!!

We are incredibly excited to be taking MOM to the next phase this year as we take our retreats to the USA, starting in Chicago this October. But home grown fans there is no need to worry - we'll be back at Coventry again in November for another weekend of fun!
