Ashford Craft Shop New Owners Nicola and Niki Bota.
We are thrilled that Nicola and her husband have taken over the Ashford Craft Shop business. After more than 16 years with us, demonstrating and teaching throughout Australasia and in the USA and India, Nicola has tremendous knowledge and passion for the textile crafts. She and her team will continue and grow the Craft Shop as the world showroom for Ashford Handicrafts.  After extensive alterations and refurbishment the almost century-old building is brimming with beautiful displays of the wheels, looms, yarns, fibres, dyes and books and an extensive range of designer handmade garments.
Nicola is offering a wide range of classes and workshops and will be hosting the popular Ashford Retreats.
