In this private workshop, you'll learn the basics of knitting using a vintage knitting machine to create wearable textiles. Plus you can bring a friend or family member for free.
What is machine knitting & who invented it?
The knitting machine was invented by Englishman William Lee in 1589 to make stockings. It’s a very small manual machine that enables the maker to create fine, fast knitting. Machine knitting was one of the first major stages in the textile industry that led to the Industrial Revolution. It’s still in use today but unfortunately, it’s become a forgotten craft! So we’re here to bring it back!
What to expect!
During this creative and therapeutic class your teacher Valeria will guide you through designing and making your own knitted artwork. You'll learn how to use the vintage knitting ‘machine’ and listen to the wonderful sound it produces as the needles move. The process of machine knitting enables you to have full control over your design. Many people find machine knitting therapeutic and relaxing as you can watch and listen to your artwork come to life. Not only that the results look like those of an expert (even for absolute beginners).
What can you make?
It’s smooth, quick performance is perfect for making a range of knits – from home accessories to stylish garments - knit long trendy scarves, and quirky tote bags in under 3 hours… Smaller items only take minutes to do. Valeria will work with you to design and make what you want. All materials and tools are included and your artwork is yours to take home and wear with pride.
Why use a knitting machine over hand-held?
Unlike hand knitting, the beauty of using a domestic knitting machine is that you can knit fast and use much finer yarns to create wearable textiles with a professional artistic finish. There will be far fewer mistakes making it less stressful & it’s super fast.
So what are you waiting for - come and enjoy this forgotten craft.
Please note: This booking is a private 1:1 workshop. If you would like to bring a friend free of charge you can. You will split the cost, and share the experience plus time on the knitting machine.
Suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 12 years old).
An adult must accompany any attending kids. The adult may observe at the class for free.
This would also be a unique gift for her, gift for mum, anniversary gift, Father's Day gift or birthday gift.
