Workshop Programme
We are an active textile art group, holding workshops most months of the year. The workshops cover a variety of skills and techniques and we aim to provide a wide range of techniques and inspirations. They are suitable for all skill levels and we hold regular exhibitions of members work.
Workshops are open to non-members when not fully subscribed, please contact us for details.
Friday evening sessions start at 7.15pm and usually run for about 2 hours. Saturday workshops usually start at 10.15am and finish at approx 3.30pm. We occasionally run 2 day weekend workshops.
