A range of skills and techniques will be taught on Tuesdays and different skills on Thursdays so if you want to attend both, we would love to see you there!
You will learn to use a variety textile materials and equipment such as domestic sewing machine, felting tools, fabric printing machinery to produce products such as:
- Needlefelt Christmas Decorations
- Marbled Papers
- Gift Wrap/Tags, Decorations
