New Loaf-merch coming soon!
We are really excited to get some new merch in before Christmas. We hope you love the colours as much as we do!
We will have a reprint of our popular bread bags & get some new t-shirts as well. The shirts are sourced from No sweat, a grassroots anti-sweatshop campaign that works in solidarity with independent trade unions and workers rights groups around the world.
Building on Kerry’s impeccable branding (you might her know from The Old Post Office) with Molly’s gorgeous illustrations we asked Brid from Do Make Say Ink to get them printed.
And if you eyed earlier with our aprons, kitchen towels or tote bags - those are still on sale as well.
Just come down to the shop and have a look what you fancy.
Give the gift of learning!
If you think of gifting one class but you are not sure which one would be liked you could also buy a gift voucher.
Vouchers can be purchased in any value you like for redemption against future bookings. Vouchers purchased online will give you a downloadable pdf which can be emailed to the recipient directly, or to you for printing and giving to them by hand. Alternatively you can come to us and buy vouchers in the shop.
Gift vouchers are valid for 2 years from the date of purchase and can only be redeemed with Loaf Cookery School courses.
