Generally on the first Monday of each month (but can vary due to bank holidys). The idea is to get together to draw or do your own arty thing in convivial surroundings (so we can also chat, drink and eat nibbles). Bring along; a drink and a snack (if you wish); your own drawing materials; a thing or two, to put on the table to draw if you fancy trying a still life, or you could do your own thing, like work on an ongoing project. 

There will be a small charge to cover the room hire - £2 each.

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT MAKING SEWING DAYS 

Come join our weekday sewing workshops. Tuition at the Sewing Days is based on your individual making project and learning aims for that project.  Depending on where you are on your sewing journey – it could be learning to sew and making your first garment, or an advanced sewing project with a specific technique you’re wanting to master.  Or your project may involve some pattern work, such as fitting adjustments or design line adjustments / style manipulation. 

Guidance is given individually for each project, especially useful for selecting the right garment size to make, or for fitting adjustments.  This makes up one part of achieving professional results, the other part is to select the right sort of seam construction – which is about choosing one that is suitable for your project cloth and the style of the garment you’re making.

10am-3pm - Maximum of 5 students per workshop

Booking in advance – £55 per sewing Day. Book for one day or for a run of dates to suit your availability.
