WORK AT YOUR OWN PACE

Attendees work at that their own pace in a relaxed and friendly environment, with as much guidance as you need to help you complete your project.

​

Your chosen project can remain at our premises until you have finished.  We only request that it's not a big item as storage for student projects is limited.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD FIRST PROJECT?

For a complete beginner a good first project is something like a small chair, a stool, ottoman or a headboard. Avoid curves, like tub chairs, as they require more advanced skills.

​

It is better not to get your top fabric until after your first class, as we will advise what you need to take into consideration when choosing the type/colour/pattern of fabric as well as the amount needed. And there will be plenty to do on your chosen project before it needs the top fabric!
