They range from one hour taster sessions to one day or weekend workshops and week long summer schools. What you can make depends on the time available but even taster sessions enable you to make a sample - it's all hands on. Longer courses also cover elements involved in design in greater detail and you could complete a project at summer school. Accompanied children are usually welcome. Some courses are just for young people or those with learning disabilities. Explore your creativity at your own pace with expert tuition. (Warning - this craft can be addictive!) Hessian, tools/equipment, books are available at courses or by mail order Course details may be changed and new dates added later so please check with venue or Jenni.
