Craft Bliss is Craft Heaven!

My first experience of Craft Bliss was buying from their website. I ordered late one day, the items were dispatched the following day and turned up quickly in the post.

Then I travelled the 30 or so miles to the shop and discovered that Craft Bliss is Craft Heaven for papercrafters. Everything you need and much more besides in a lovely, modern shop. I use a mobility scooter and Barry, one of the owners, informed me that the main display stands are on wheels and he moved them around so I had plenty of space to get to all parts of the shop on my scooter. I haven't seen this anywhere else and it is much appreciated.

Barry and Julie are very knowledgeable and were able to help me with a couple of queries I had - and no hard sell on products. Just friendly, detailed advice which has proven invaluable in my crafting.

The workshops are incredible. The range of cards which have been produced over the weeks and months is on display in the shop. I attended a workshop a week ago and was made very welcome by Barry, Julie and their group of regular Saturday morning crafters. The instructions were detailed, clear and not rushed. Barry ensured everyone had completed a step before moving to the next one, so no fear of being left behind! I wish I lived closer so I could attend every week.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are very mindful that our customers might have disabilities, so we designed the store to ensure most of the furniture is on wheels to allow easy access to customers with wheelchairs and mobility scooters. We want Craft Bliss to be a safe and inclusive space for all crafters.

Craft Bliss a fantastic shop

I was introduced to Craft Bliss a few months ago by a friend. I was amazed, I haven’t seen such a well stocked shop for a long time, they have all you need for paper crafting. The owners Julie and Barrie are always ready to give help and advice if necessary. I have since joined their workshops and have learned so much and been inspired to use techniques that I would not have done on my own. Thank you both.

I LOVE THURSDAYS

I am new to card making, and found Craft Bliss quite by accident. Went over to the shop on Saturday afternoon, and could not believe the magic and friendliness of the people in the shop. There was a workshop taking place but were still willing to answer questions. Joined their workshop the following Thursday and never looked back. Their skill and patience with us all is unbelievable. i have a regular booking now and thoroughly love it. I look at the cards Barry and Julie expect us to make and think, no chance, but we do it. Best thing i have done in ages. Thanks Barry and Julie.

I thoroughly enjoy my weekly card crafting workshops at Craft Bliss. I always find it's a lovely friendly and non competitive atmosphere to spend 2 hrs away from my caring duties. The shop is also well stocked with all price points products to help us recreate the cards that we make in the workshop sessions as we are given a tutorial instruction pack along with the card that we make. All we have to do is turn up for our pre booked workshop session and enjoy spending 2hrs making various themed cards that aren't available in the local High Street shops. Go on give it a try. Leave your phone alone for a few hours. You too may enjoy it.

Thank you for your lovely review. Our workshops are about the enjoyment of craft and its social aspects. We're delighted you have recognised the uncompetitive nature of the workshop environment. It is all about enjoying the craft rather than being the first or best. We look forward to seeing you next time.

Enjoyable workshops.

I have attended many workshops at Craft Bliss and they are always very enjoyable. The projects are well designed and materials used are excellent quality. Everyone leaves with a lovely result. A great way to spend a couple of hours with fellow crafters.

Craft Bliss offers a wonderful crafting experience

Craft Bliss has a wonderful Crafting Community vibe with a great range of craft supplies including clear stamps, metal dies, backing papers, card blanks, pens, inks and much more. The regular workshops offered is a great opportunity for a bit of me time while learning new techniques under excellent tuition and patience for the novice to expert crafter. Always come up to solutions to any card making enquiries. The workshop lasts for 2 hours costing £10 covers all tools and supplies required to make the card to take home and with instructions to make again at home.
