We hold a number of workshops throughout the year led by guest textile artists. They are listed in our Programme section and are primarily for members. However, occasionally not all spaces are taken and so become available to non-members. Non-members can be accepted onto a workshop if a place is available one month before the workshop is to be held. If there is a workshop a non-member would like to do, they can register their name on a waiting list and should a space become available one month before the workshop date they will be offered a place. Use 'contact us' on this website.

Mini in-house workshops are also held for members. These are not advertised outside of the group.
