After over 30 years as a designer for companies such as Disney, Platform 9 3/4, F&F, Jigsaw, Etam, Esprit and Olympic Spirit, Toni hung up her designers hat and moved back to her original love, painting and Easely Does It was born.
Starting with painting workshops, Easely Does It quickly expanded, bringing into the team a group of other creators with a huge range of skills and passions. Helping them branched out into other arts and crafts including things like, wreath making, macramé and needle felting.
Whichever one of our sessions you join, we'll make it fun.
