Our current, stunning blackwork project, entitled Ribbons, designed and taught by Sally Leonard, is a fabulous mix of classic and modern stitches, patterns and threads.
The piece is worked over 8 months, one day per month. You can start the project in whatever month you wish but you will need to attend 8 sessions to acquire the full pattern. You do not need to book all 8 sessions at the start and can skip a month if, for example, you are going on holiday. Provided you give us 24 hours notice, we will move a class on to your next chosen date should you be unable to attend for example due to ill health. Each session costs £32 so book your first session now.
Good to know:
The venue has parking. Upon arrival, park in the car park at the front of the shop. Unload your vehicle into your classroom. Staff will then advise you where to park your car for the day at the rear of the complex.
There is disabled parking and ramps allowing access to all areas. There is a disabled toilet.
Staff will help anyone in need of assistance. Shop on site selling an enormous range of goods relating to crafting: dressmaking, patchwork & quilting, knitting & crochet, sewing machines and furniture.
There is a coffee shop on site called O for Coffee. Attendees at our classes are visited by coffee shop staff regularly throughout the day to take any orders. Anything consumed during your day is sold at a 10% discount. As well as a large choice of hot and cold drinks, the menu comprises savoury choices including sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes and soups. For those with a sweet tooth, there is a selection of cakes and scones made in-house with gluten-free and vegan options.
