School of Stitched Textiles
During the Covid 19 pandemic we wanted to show you the therapeutic power of crafting. We have always been firm believers in the power of stitch and its ability to help us achieve mindfulness, even during the most stressful times.
We’ve put together a FREE, short, hand stitch course with the aim of teaching you a new design as well as relaxing and calming the mind and body.
Repetitive running stitches are used for this cushion project, so you can lose yourself in the rhythm of the stitch without having to spend time getting to grips with complex techniques before you start.
Online Teaching Platform
All of our beginner courses are taught online and delivered through high quality tutorial videos and downloadable course content. Theses are accessed through our dedicated online teaching platform, the Creative Classroom. With access to your own private learning dashboard you’ll be able to work your way through the course content, check off tasks as you complete them and track your progress throughout the course.
You’ll get full access to your course for 12 months.
