As a community sewing group, we don't have a permanent site, this enables us to take the courses on the road, bringing creative teaching closer to you. The Venue page will tell you about the site we use and the facilities at each.

The duration of the class depends on your choice of topic. We have some that are just 2 hours long where you will make something to take home at the end of the session. These classes are very relaxing and sociable, ideal for meeting like minded people while being creative with textiles.
​
A full day course is perfect for those with a bit more time on their hands or people who want to take on a more complex project that requires continued support.
​
For those who want to commit to extended learning, a week by week programme will be ideal. A sustained period of tuition you can underpin your knowledge and help perfect those difficult processes.
