Please express your interest. You will not be charged but will be added to the waiting list and contacted by Beth.

‘Start The Week Stitch’ is a weekly adult course for people who need it. The class is intended for anybody who needs a little bit of extra support and encouragement to join a creative group. You may have a disability, a brain injury or mental health problems.

The class is full of friendly chat and the sharing of ideas. It is taught by fashion and textiles tutor Beth Morris and we take inspiration for textiles and surface pattern from art, our social environments and of course Insole Court.

Come along and play with fabrics. We’ll deconstruct, re-construct, draw, paint, stitch, dye, rip, weave, embroider and embellish. This course will teach you how to challenge yourself and explore a world of colour, pattern and print. Some weeks we’ll work to a theme and others we’ll be inspired by artists and crafts people.

Let’s start a creative journey together, where you’ll make new friends and share fantastic stitch stories. Although all materials are provided, it’s a perfect opportunity to use up vintage fabrics and all those inspiring bits and pieces that have been in your sewing box for years! No previous experience necessary.

The group will regularly take part in exhibitions and charity projects, as well as plenty of slow stitching for enjoyment. It’s a great way to start the week!! We may even set up a craft stall and take part in local events…the possibilities are endless.

If you are interested in joining please sign up* You will not be charged as this is a fully funded course. *Current students get to retain their places, so new places are limited. Beth will be in contact if we have a place for you.
