We know you love us when you find us and that's why you keep coming back. You also know that we're here, either a phone call or an email away, often day and night. We love sharing the journey of making with you and love that we get to support you in your creativity and it means the world to us. That's why we're always looking for ways to help you make the most of our kits. Check out our tutorial videos if you haven't already.  This month we have launched our loyalty scheme to say thank you.
