Imagine arriving at the Oast Studio on a crisp autumn morning… 🍂

The cool, fresh air as you make your way down the lane, surrounded by gorgeous reds, oranges and yellows, before stepping inside to the warmth of the studio and the delicious smell of freshly baked custard tarts drifting through from the bakery...

A hot drink, something lovely to make, plenty of time to chat and create, and perhaps a little treat (or two!) along the way.

If that sounds like your idea of a perfect autumn day, we have four lovely classes towards the end of October that still have spaces…
