Here is the current day school list
Playing with Fibres (This is the newest and most popular dayschool)
Using natural fibres, such as silk carrier rods, silk cocoons, and Mulberry bark to make bags, jewellery, or panels.
Through the looking glass
This class involves the use of various types of fabric layered up to create a feeling of depth. A central square or rectangle is created either with fabric or embossed metal around which decorative borders are embroidered, cutting back through the layers of fabric and various ways of making patterns with stitch. This is a fun day school whatever your level of experience.
Walnut Purse,
This purse, based on an example from the V& A collection involves covering a walnut shell with fabric and hand stitch to create a delightful miniature purse, a real heirloom for the future.
Indian Mosaic,
“My sort of patchwork”, this class requires a sewing machine to join strips of fabric together (this can be done prior to the day). The strip patchwork is then cut up to form kaleidoscopic patens, which are bonded to a back ground and embellished with hand or machine stitch. This is a really useful technique to learn with many applications from bags cushions, panels etc.
