If you love a good accessory, channel your inner hippy and add some boho vibes to your wardrobe with some marvellous macrame creations.

Read on!
Led by talented artisans, our macrame craft classes will teach you how to perform the basic knots, and then show you how to use your new skills to create some wonderful pieces for your wardrobe.

We think they’ll be the most stylish reusable bags you’ll find! If you’re more into jewellery than groceries, check out our craft classes that will show you how to make macrame earrings, necklaces and bracelets – keep them small and subtle, or go big and bold with chunky tassels and added beads for a beautifully unique finish. The choice is yours!
Get upcycling and transform old clothes
If your wardrobe is looking a bit dated or you’ve got some clothes that are past their best, they don’t necessarily need to be consigned to the charity shop pile or – even worse – the bin. Learning a few new skills to transform what you’ve got will save you time, money and keep your old clothes out of the landfill, which is much better for the environment. You don’t need to be a professional dressmaker either, you just need to know a few sewing basics and simple textile design techniques and you’ll be ready to get stuck into the beautiful art of upcycling!
If your clothes are looking a bit tired and threadbare, our beginners’ sewing classes will teach you everything you need to know to replace those broken zips, patch up those torn jeans and finally adjust the waist on that skirt that’s just a tiny bit too big. If you’ve got holes that are a bit too big to disguise, why not try one of our visible mending craft classes which makes a beautiful feature of a sad mistake? You’ll learn traditional Japanese sashiko and boro stitching on a variety of different types of fabric, and finish with a garment that’s totally Insta-worthy! Got some plain t-shirts or dresses that could do with a new lease of life? Get stuck into some fabric art or screen printing classes and create some vibrant colourful designs to brighten them up, or learn simple embroidery techniques to decorate them with beautiful hand-stitched embroidery flowers, leaves and even lovely lettering.
