Location
Riverside House - 502 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh
Riverside House is at the top of Chesser and has a bus stop right at the door serving multiple buses inclining 3,30,33,25, x27 and x28. We also have free parking at the base of the building. However, a little warning for those with larger cars, the entrance to the car park can be a little tight. If you are nervous there's public parking either on Fords road or in Saughton park (Fords Rd entrance), then using the public path behind Riverside house to access the building.
Your teacher
Based in the West of Edinburgh in the recently redeveloped Riverside House by Wasps Studios. *Sew Gallus* is a combination of my two favourite words, 'Sewing' of which I have 20 years experience and 'Gallus' an excellent Scots word that often describes someone that is bold, fierce or daring. Something I was called as a child and was often discouraged from being.I’m Cerri McKenzie, I've been teaching throughout Edinburgh for nearly 5 years now, in many roles from beginners to garment making and upcycling. I've discovered a real passion for helping people on their sewing journeys and now I'm excited to be starting my own workshops.Outwith the teaching circle I have worked doing costume/work in Tv, Film and theatre after studying Fashion technology in Glasgow in my early 20's, but my first sewing job was actually in Alterations in a Tailors shop. All of this experience I think helps to give me an edge and helps me to think on my feet helping people through their sewing journey.Don't forget to 'Trust the Process'!
