What a fab day to be preparing for new adventures in Chepstow with .lifestyleshop ! I’ve been a bit quiet because I’ve been moving all of my glass bits from a million boxes by the kitchen table to my own ‘Glass Office’ 🏡 which my family are very grateful for 😂 ! pics attached of me in Glass Office with my faithful helper Bax 🐾 as well as a few snaps from a workshop with some fab ladies in March ❤️. Happy Saturday everyone!

Looking forward to being part of this exciting new adventure!

Opening THIS weekend if you fancy a mooch for some lovely things 👀🌲❤️

So some of you may have noticed that our little shop at the bottom of Chepstow by the Wye river has closed 😱 but don’t worry we’re not closing down we’re moving!

Why are we moving from our beautiful little shop I hear you ask, well there’s a number of reasons and here are just a couple! More space which in turn means we can open up more space to support more artists and makers 🎉 and we’re hoping to offer a huge range of workshops for even more people covering more mediums and for all abilities (more on that in the coming weeks) 🎉
And of course the bridge closure has made this move even easier as we have to put what’s best for all the incredible artists and makers first I’m sure you’ll agree!

We look forward to welcoming old and new customers into our new space from the 17th April with an open evening and open fully from the 18th 🎉🎉 we welcome your support and look forward to seeing you all 😊
