Exmoor Inspired Studio
There is always a warm welcome at the Exmoor Inspired Studio, my private master class teaching space for many of my creative workshops. Some of you, I know have already attended classes and workshops here in Minehead, and I get the most pleasure hosting these more focussed teaching sessions with you.
Each workshop is limited numbers of between 3-5 people depending on the activity.
There are also opportunities to book out the studio for a small private group for stitch, natter, and lunch (group minimum 4).
Testimonials
“Thank you for putting so much time and effort into preparing and delivering a great course. Quite how you have time to produce the delicious food accompaniments throughout the day is beyond me. I shall call you Super Gaz!”

“I would thoroughly recommend a private masterclass with Gary. I was made to feel very welcome, and the studio space is light and airy. It is an ideal environment for being creative, Gary makes the learning both fun and informative. Plus, the refreshments are homemade and very tasty. Can’t wait to return!”

“I have attended several Exmoor Inspired masterclasses held in Gary’s studio in Minehead. My idea of perfect days spent learning new skills. Dying fabrics, various sewing techniques, floristry, and lots more. Excellent tuition, fabulous lunches, lovely working environment.”

The Gardens
The studio is situated at the rear of my own designed garden, which not only provides me with a daily source of fresh vegetables, flowers, inspiration, and a space to relax, but as the warmer seasons arrive it provides a further outside space for textile print and dye themed workshops.
And to top it all off…
All Exmoor Inspired workshops include a delicious home-made Lunch (I just knew that past catering career would come in useful again one day) of home cooked seasonal soups, fresh artisan breads with a mezza of tasty nibbles, and of course plenty of my home-made biscuits, cakes with fresh coffee and tea to get our creativity going. (No one goes away hungry!)
