WORKSHOPS
These workshops are a time where we aim to complete a project in one session. Catering for adults and children in various sessions, we love to learn new skills and techniques in these times together.
Workshop Overview
This is where we love to try different techniques, learn even more new skills, looking more broadly at the textile realm. We have arm knitted chunky blankets, learnt to screen print on fabric, had specialised training on using our overlockers, learnt to shirr & so much more.
Spaces go quickly so book in soon.
