Hi there,

Can anybody tell me if there are any Craft Classes in the area and if not would there be any interest to have some? 

My husband and I currently live in England but looking into the possibility of buying a holiday home with a view to spending the autumn and winters there in time. 

We have 2 craft shops with studios in East Sussex and I have taught classes for a number of years in Cardmaking, Decopatch, Mosaic, Jewellery Making etc and just wondering if I could relocate for part of the year and use these skills in the Mar Menor/Murcia area?

Kind regards, Lisa

Hi Lisa

A card class would be really good in Los Alcazares only problem is that it is very difficult to buy stuff in Spain especially decent card.  There

used to be a shop near La Zenia and they sold loads of things and she used to run classes but she closed down and moved back to the UK a couple of years ago.

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for the information - as for the card stock I would be in a position to provide all of that as well as extra supplies as I currently have 2 craft shops in the Uk.

The Chinese  shops are everywhere but their card is only about 160gsm, they sell gems, and toppers all sorts and they do sell the odd punch and wriggle scissors.  They also sell all sorts of foam and loads of other stuff.  But they do not sell decent quality card or paper or specialist stamps, inks etc.  There would definitely be a market for that sort of thing.
