About Gail

Gail Bryson is a textile, graphic and product designer. She specialises in simple and graphic prints that complement a wide range of home styles.

Trained at Edinburgh College of Art, she developed her design skills at The Conran Shop and The Nest before subsequently becoming co-founder and creative director of Bryson Loxley. Amongst her clients there are John Lewis and Jamie Oliver. She has also collaborated individually with other small independent businesses on a wide range of projects over the years.

Gail is a firm believer that good design will always last the test of time. Her products are designed to last both in design and manufacture, and are mainly all hand-printed and hand-sewn in London. Ultimately, her aim is to create things that can passed down through the generations, like the collection of linen she has inherited from her own family.

Colour also plays a big part in Gail’s work. Combinations are dreamed up from photographs taken on her travels and provide inspiration back in her studio.

17th January - Reset and Rebalance with Emma Garland

£45.00

Friday 17th January 2025
9:30am-2:00pm
Lunch, snacks and unlimited tea and coffee included.

Start the New Year by reconnecting with your body alongside a true expert at this warm and friendly day for seasoned yogis and beginners completely new to yoga. This is a day of knowledge and learning; a restful, restorative day allowing you to reconnect with yourself and with nature.

As your guide, Emma Garland puts it:

“Our body speaks to us all the time, but with busy lives we don’t always listen. We’re not always in tune or even in sync with our bodies. Stress and worries of the mind show up in the body, too. And certain times of the year don’t always help either.

Whether we hold tension in our muscles, like our back, shoulders and hips; or it shows up in our work or daily tasks with an inability to focus on the task in hand; we need the tools to learn new habits or even unlearn old, bad habits.”

Reset your nervous system to manage stress more effectively:

“We’ll be looking to rest and rebalance our nervous systems, both our parasympathetic nervous system (the chilled one) and the sympathetic nervous system (the action one).

When we can find this balance, we can increase our heart rate variability (HRV) (AKA our heart health) and decrease our resting heart rate (RHR).

Balancing these two will improve your overall health, increase our longevity and result in a balanced, and better, nervous system.”

9:45am: Meet, greet, walk and breathe through The Walled Garden.

In this restorative day for yourself; and maybe friends or loved ones, we’ll start the day with a hot drink around the fire pit, before heading off for a walk around the beautiful Walled Garden of Hawarden Estate. We’ll take this walk up to the Old Castle, where we’ll enjoy some various breath work techniques, designed to warm us up from the outside in; whilst enjoying the breathtaking rural views from the top of the hill. It’s an opportunity to discuss old habits and perhaps plant seeds for new habits to grow.

11am: Move, breathe and flow.

We’ll head back to roll out our yoga mats (indoors) whilst still feeling connected with the natural world. We’ll enjoy flowing movement to expand our bodies and hearts. When we expand and open our chest, we can fully feel our inner power within. Our posture is greatly improved and we can allow ourselves to feel the finer muscles within our bodies that may need to be awakened.

12:15pm: Relaxation

We’ll cosy up under thick wool blankets and hot water bottles and be guided through a deep relaxation for the ultimate experience in self-care. These are the tools you can use to take with you to create new habits and routines to help you find a more balanced nervous system.

1pm: Refuel

Lunch from the award-winning Hawarden Estate Farm Shop is included. We’ll round up our restorative day with a hearty, warming lunch to fuel our bodies and minds and chat with like-minded new friends.

2pm: Time to say goodbye

All equipment, food and and drink throughout the day is provided.

£90.00

Saturday 3rd May 2025
10am - 2pm
Your ticket includes lunch and a snack from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop, plus unlimited tea and coffee.

During this masterclass, you will learn the art of block printing onto a cotton lampshade.

With a huge choice of blocks and paint colours you will be able to create a completely unique and beautiful pattern. We will provide 2D cut out lampshades to perfect your design on and a lampshade to practise on.

Printing on lampshades is harder than it looks, so we’ll make sure to give you lots of practice time! Once you feel confident enough and happy with your pattern, you’ll be ready to print onto the shade you will take home.

This technique can then be transferred onto linen shades, card shades, curtains, napkins, cushions, cards, wrapping paper; the list is endless. The final lampshade will come with a UK/EU fitting and is suitable for table/floor lamps.

You will leave this workshop with a 30cm empire lampshade which you will have printed your own pattern onto, using Studio Zef blocks.

This workshop is not suitable for children.

About the workshop, as told by Gaz:

Are you harbouring a desire to be able to sharpen your own knives? Does it feel within your reach but still somehow completely unfathomable?

As a professional knife sharpening service we speak with our customers about this topic a lot, so much so we've lost count of how many times we've heard...

"I'd really like to be able to sharpen my own knives but I'm worried about ruining them."

"I've had a whetstone for years but I've never got around to learning how to use it."

"I'm not really sure about the angles."

These are absolutely valid reasons for being wary of getting started, properly sharpening a knife using traditional methods can be tricky, but by breaking down the process and giving you a little guidance along the way, we're confident you'll leave the workshop with the skills you need become a competent and confident home sharpener.

We’ll start the workshop with a lesson in the all important sharpening theory, then we’ll give a comprehensive demonstration of the techniques you’ll need to know before moving on to a big chunk of time for you to sharpen your own knives under our guidance.

The bulk of the workshop will be focussed on standard kitchen knives, so we recommend that you bring around 4 of your own to work on, we’ll also save some time at the end of the session to talk you through how to sharpen serrated knives and scissors, so feel free to bring these along as well, in addition to any sharpening equipment you might already own and want to ask questions about, although don’t worry if you don’t own any as everything will be provided on the day (except the knives!).
