Last years coffin courses were a huge success 🙌 I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my skills and getting to know everyone who came along!! Dates for this years courses have been added to my website, the first one coming up is in March. Followed by May, September and October. 🌱 New Addition 🌱 5 Day Workshop I have added an optional extra day to include the coffin lining. I had lots of requests to do this so have finally upgraded to offer this special finishing touch. The lining used is waterproof biodegradable natural cotton.Spaces are still available but limited.
