Maker's bio

Crafting in the Cotswolds – what’s not to love? Lechlade Craft Barn offers craft workshops in the pretty Cotswolds market town of Lechlade on Thames. The Craft Barn is an attractive old stone barn at Karen's home and is the perfect setting to discover and develop your crafting skills. Owner Karen has a long-held passion for crafting, with backgrounds in retail and event management. Along with her workshops, she is joined by a talented team of guest tutors who offer a wide range of craft workshops. The barn is accessed via external stone steps with handrails on either side and unfortunately may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Some workshops are delivered nearby in the bright and spacious Memorial Hall complex and other local venues. In addition to published workshops, we also offer bespoke Crafty Parties for Hens, groups of friends and family, special occasions, or any excuse to have a crafty day.

Sandi Turner reviewed: Leaded Stained Glass Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire Border

"Lovely course with lovely people. I think it helped to have done a copper foiling day first, so that I had some practice at cutting the glass pieces. Very pleased with my finished design, although I need to practice more with a soldering iron! Sharon and Graham are very capable, patient teachers and I am planning on another course at the Craft Barn soon."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the copper foil stained glass course. It was a really relaxed environment but also gave me the confidence to work on a simple project that I had in mind."

Veronica Stanley reviewed: Pyrography Beginners Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire Border

"The pyrography course was so much more than we expected. The tutor was lovely and very helpful especially as we had not attempted anything like this before. We were delighted with our finished pictures and the setting was magical. We both felt the course was more than worthwhile and are very happy to let others know of it. Great day and thank you for Making it possible. Veronica and Rosamund "
