Let me introduce Jules Craft@25’s guest maker for this two-hour workshop. Jules Mayouf is an expert textile maker, tutor, and author who creates modern, upcycled designs combining quilting, mixed media, and hand-stitching. A frequent TV guest designer and craft show demonstrator, she teaches all skill levels and is currently writing a book on textile-fusion bag-making. Locker hooking has been around for over a century, hugely popular from the 1920s to the 1940s, and originally part of the “make do and mend” era. Today, it’s enjoying a well-deserved revival thanks to our love of recycling, upcycling, and sustainable crafting.
Using open-weave canvas and a mix of fabric and yarn, you’ll create a sturdy, beautifully textured woven coaster. Jules will introduce you to different types of canvas bases and guide you through a variety of textile and yarn options so you can explore colour, texture, and pattern in your own unique way.
You’ll learn how to use the special locker hooking tool, discover how the weaving process works, and see how this versatile technique can be used to make all sorts of practical and decorative items: placemats, trivets, hot pads, mug rugs, wall hangings, even bags. Once you get the hang of it, the possibilities really are endless.
Jules will walk you through finishing techniques to complete your project neatly and confidently. No prior experience is needed, just enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new. You’ll also take home a bonus pack containing your own hooking tool and enough canvas to make three more coasters, along with full written instructions so you can continue your locker hooking journey at home.
All materials provided. Refreshments and snacks available.

Craft has always been my quiet constant. No matter where life took me, creativity was the place I returned to when I needed comfort, clarity, or hope. While working as a Secretary/PA, crafting became my sanctuary, a way to slow down, breathe, and remind myself of who I was beyond the pressures of everyday life. In moments of stress or self-doubt, making something with my hands helped me rebuild a sense of calm, confidence, and purpose. I chose to teach craft because I believe in its power to transform. Craft@25 was created from a heartfelt desire to inspire others to reconnect with their creativity and, in doing so, reconnect with themselves. My aim is to create a welcoming space where people feel encouraged to explore, create freely, and discover the joy and well-being that comes from making. Teaching craft is about more than techniques; it’s about empowerment, mindfulness, and self-belief. If someone leaves a session feeling calmer, more confident, or inspired to create again, then I know I’ve shared something truly meaningful.
