Wonderful Workshops
Workshops
Textile and Sewing workshops are a wonderful way to explore your creativity, learn new skills, make new friends and relax away from everyday life now more than ever.
We have a studio space above our shop which is on Church Street in Garstang, this is where you can attend weekly classes – full days, half days or evenings. We also use venues in and around Garstang for larger events when we have our fabulous visiting textile artists. Remember when booking a workshop to check which of our many venues you will be attending. Our current guidelines regarding Covid 19 are available to read on each workshop description.
