How it works

Request your preferred time

We'll send a ClassBento Box to you (a craft kit with what you'll need). Shipping in the UK is free, and it should arrive within 2-5 business days. We ship nationwide.

Enjoy the online class - after booking, you'll get a link to join the interactive class.

What you'll do

Join expert crafter Pat Archibald for a virtual quilting class that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home!

In this online hand-stitching workshop, you'll learn how to work with oil paint sticks and freezer paper stencils to create stunning, soft images of cherry blossoms on a custom glasses case.

You'll use your paint stick to create a painted border for your piece and watch demonstrations from your teacher before assembling all the component pieces of the kit by hand and adding the finishing touch with a pretty, beaded edging!

At the end of this hand stitching workshop, you'll have a new skill along with all of the inspiration needed to create more of these items as gifts for friends and family.

Your teacher

Pat Archibald

Pat is a UK textile artist and tutor based in Edinburgh. Her fascination for fabric began in her childhood when she discovered her grandmother’s scrap bag bursting at the seams with exotic fabrics and by the age of 11, she had created her first piece of patchwork. Throughout her creative career, Pat has exhibited her work worldwide, won some wonderful awards and even established Scotland’s first dedicated patchwork and quilting shop.

Pat loves to travel both around her home country as well as further afield. As her own horizons grow literally, then so too do the experiences that she can then express in her quilt making. She feels that each collection of quilts has its own unique identity and captures the essence of her view of the country or city.

Arena Travel Craft Holidays

Still proudly independently owned to this day, Arena Travel has developed its reputation for delivering high-quality special interest holidays over nearly four decades. Through the years the variety and number of tours on offer has grown, but the aim has always remained the same – to provide a truly personal service catering for both group and individual needs, leaving people free to enjoy their holiday to the full.

Arena can in fact lay claim to being something of a trailblazer in the travel sector and has been responsible for some impressive firsts: We were the first company to charter the supersonic passenger airliner Concorde, the first to organise day trips across the Channel to Calais back in the 1970s and the first to offer tours to modern China following the lifting of the Bamboo Curtain.
