Meet the Team

Whether you’re just starting your creative journey or refining an established skill, our retreats are designed to meet you exactly where you are. With a great creative lead guiding each session, you’ll feel supported, inspired, and gently stretched in all the right ways. And the experience doesn’t end in the studio. Guests enjoy exclusive, private surroundings and exceptional food from the portfolio of our award winning Chef — It’s not just a workshop; it’s a beautifully balanced escape where crafting and fine dining come together, a rare combination.

Couture Designer & Creative Guide

Our designer brings years of experience from Paris couture houses, with her knitwear and crochet pieces appearing on countless catwalks. If you’ve admired beautifully crafted knitted or crocheted garments in certain seasons, there’s a good chance you’ve already seen her work. Despite her couture background, her teaching style is calm, patient, and perfectly suited to beginners. She guides guests through simple, enjoyable craft projects using beautiful materials, helping everyone feel confident, relaxed, and genuinely proud of what they create.

Meet Janice

Retreat Chef & Culinary Host

Our chef comes from exceptional stock! He has cooked at the Ritz, cooked for Royalty and for celebrities. His career spans both land and sea, from the swishest country houses to the most palatial of cruise ships, but a quieter life back in Yorkshire beckoned, so we persuaded him not to hang up his “Whites” and join us in this venture
