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.

Maximum of 5 students per workshop. A five hour workshop provides each student with good amounts of individual tuition throughout the day. You will find this a lovely friendly social working space. It’s a place to challenge your making skills and learn new techniques.

I love this little basket, its great for beginners and also one for people who'd like to explore framework, have an interest in soft fibres and a love the simple beauty to be found in the humble stick! We will begin by choosing which piece of wood to use as our handle and then learn how to drill the holes to accommodate the ribs for us to weave between. We will explore patterns of weaving with the willow and have opportunity to learn what other plant fibres can be woven into our baskets and how to make cordage or different sorts of plaits. This is a really playful and exploratory workshop. All materials included including a selection of sticks, but you are encouraged to bring some stick options for your handles as its part of the fun! The wood needs to be dry and around 3-4 cm diameter.

This fun 1-day workshop is a beginners guide to painting for people keen to paint but not sure where to start. Using Acrylics as our medium I will guide you through the basics of what makes for a successful painting using a variety of tools and approaches. Acrylic paint is a forgiving and user-friendly medium that provides a solid foundation for painting in other media.

You will be able to make a variety of experimental and test pieces to explore these techniques as well as your final piece which will pull together everything you have learned. Pieces can be fired multiple times over the four weeks which will enable you to make more complex pieces than is in possible in a single workshop.

Develop your basket making skills

Each block of 5 weeks will have a basketry theme such as bases, handles or borders which we will focus on to deepen your knowledge and skills.

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.

Maximum of 5 students per workshop. A five hour workshop provides each student with good amounts of individual tuition throughout the day. You will find this a lovely friendly social working space. It’s a place to challenge your making skills and learn new techniques.

Enjoy tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the day, bring your own packed lunch.

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

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. Sometimes their is a led activity by a member of the group.

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

I have been learning more and more about soft fibres; which I can use alongside willow and where they grow. These Bull rush combine the willow technique of spiral weave with some beautiful rush weaving using rush which I harvested myself last summer in Somerset, its such a satisfying process! All materials included along with refreshments . Great for any level of ability!
