Creative Fashion Design & Wellbeing Programme
About this Event
Join our Creative Fashion Design & Wellbeing Programme, a welcoming, supportive space where fashion, wellbeing, creativity, and community come together.
The programme will run from 21 July to 8 August 2026 over a four-week period. Sessions will be held twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
The programme is designed for adults aged 18–45 who are interested in fashion, creativity, self-expression, and learning practical garment-making skills in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
Whether you are a complete beginner, returning to creativity after a break, exploring fashion design for the first time, or simply looking for a positive and inspiring community space, this programme is designed to support your creative journey.
The programme runs over four consecutive weeks, and attendance from the first session is essential as each week builds on the previous one.
If you are unable to attend the first session, you will need to wait until the current six-week programme has concluded. You will then be able to join when the next six-week workshop is launched.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
