Programmes are available in the comfort of your own home using the Zoom platform on a Thursday evening at 7pm UK.
Using a combination of live demonstrations and video tuition participants will get the information they need to produce their own unique item. The regular meetings will give the participants the opportunity to be a part of a community with the same goals in mind, to show and tell their work, to ask questions, to learn the skills needed to move on to the next task at their own pace. 1:1 tutorials are also included in the programme.
