What the course is about
This course introduces you to the essential skills and techniques used in needle and textile crafts, helping you build confidence through simple, guided projects. You’ll learn how to select the right fabrics, threads, and tools for different tasks, as well as how to thread needles, apply basic stitches, measure and mark materials, and handle textile equipment safely. Whether you’re repairing, upcycling, or creating something new, the course gives you a strong foundation in practical skills that you can use at home or in future craft projects.
Throughout the course, you will have the chance to explore your creativity, develop your own ideas, and work at a pace that suits you. You’ll also learn how to review your finished work, identify what went well, and recognise areas for improvement. With friendly guidance and plenty of hands on practice, this course supports not just skill development but also wellbeing, self expression, and confidence in your own making abilities.
This course is subsidised by Government funding so you should aim to attend the whole workshop.
