Our Building Colour Confidence sessions were really popular with folk at the Festival of Quilts!

Colour is a huge topic and for a lot of people, it can be intimidating. In this workshop on 1st September, you’ll be introduced to colour theory, experiment with practical exercises and get lots of inspiration for future projects.

“I started the morning with absolutely no self belief in choosing colour and by the end I was really proud of what I had put together. The practical exercises were brilliant in putting theory into practice and allowed us to try out different combinations.”

There was a lovely group in the studio this morning for our Beginners’ Crochet workshop. It’s always a joy to get people going on their crochet journey - and we get some great reviews too!

“Crochet for beginners was an excellent class. Would highly recommend. Sarah made it very easy to follow her teaching, also one to one if and when you get a mental block! Learnt a lot in just 3 hours. Now need to practice. Very enjoyable.”

If you’d love to learn, join us for our next session on 18th August.
