Workshops by Craft

Different crafts offer different ways of thinking, making, and paying attention. Some invite rhythm; some invite precision; some reveal structure; others reward repetition. There is no single pathway through craft and participants may explore more than one.

Workshops on this page are organised by craft. You may begin with the craft that interests you, and continue only if you wish to. If guidance is needed, we are happy to advise.

Crochet & Knitting

Crochet and knitting build cloth from yarn through repeated loops. They offer rhythm, structure, and opportunity for quiet attention. Many people approach these crafts for their calming pace and the satisfaction of watching fabric grow in the hands.

Embroidery & Needlework

Bargello, Hardanger, Punch Needle & Sashiko

Embroidery builds surface and pattern through stitches on cloth. Different forms offer different rhythms, from counted precision to slow, meditative repetition. These crafts invite patience, attention, and the quiet satisfaction of seeing a surface change stitch by stitch.

Weaving

Weaving interlaces threads to form cloth, revealing pattern through structure and sequence. It can be approached through small samplers or through deeper explorations on different looms. The craft rewards steadiness and an appreciation for gradual making.

Fibre Spinning

Spinning transforms loose fibre into yarn through touch, rhythm, and twist. It offers a close relationship with materials and connects naturally to other textile crafts. Spinning can be encountered as an indulgence in curiosity or as part of a longer textile journey.

Lace Making

Bobbin Lace & Tatting

Lace-making creates delicate openwork from thread, revealing pattern over time. It unfolds slowly and rewards focus, co-ordination, and curiosity about how structure is built. Many learners are drawn to lace for its intricacy and the pleasure of steady progress.

Others

Workshops that sit outside the main craft groupings, or introduce techniques from other craft traditions. These sessions may be exploratory, seasonal, or cross-disciplinary, and are offered as gentle entry points without requiring prior experience or long-term commitment.
