LIVE SEWING WORKSHOPS are very similar to live drawing classes, except instead of a life model, there's a beautiful community garden full of colour. 

Group wanders around the garden and finds a piece, flower, area, or plant which inspires them. Using the various textiles and fabrics, then creating a picture using applique techniques or layering. 

Everyone can work together in the polytunnel or find a peaceful area in the garden to stitch.

Friendships can be made, but everyone is encouraged to leave their problems at the door. This is their time  to focus on themselves  and work with gorgeous fabrics, learn new skills

Live Sewing Classes or held at
