Hello and welcome to the site!

My name is Tess Willoughby and I am a Derbyshire Artist, Crafter and Children's Storyteller.

I am a nationally published Crafter who has, until now, toured venues and events to deliver craft workshops. Earlier this year, I very proudly launched Courtyard Arts, based in my lovely workshop in Belper. Now you can come and try your hand at a whole host of crafting techniques and projects- no matter how old you are or how much crafting experience you have, as each course is unique!  I offer craft courses to adults, children and families- so do keep checking for specially themed workshops!

As both an Artist and Crafter, I regularly appear throughout Derbyshire as I organise and present participatory arts and crafts programmes for schools, tourist attractions, museums, local events and much more!

Have fun looking through my site and I do hope to hear from you soon!

Tess
