After School Workshops for Children

 

Does your child just love making things and is keen to learn more?

Engage their creativity and learn traditional handwork skills in our small friendly after-school classes.

In these relaxed sessions children will learn basic sewing skills, gain confidence in exercising their own creative choices and explore ways to bring their unique ideas to life. Projects options include selecting an existing ak kit, there are lots to choose from or getting guidance developing an idea. Kits can be tweaked and adapted to suit each child’s aptitude and interest.

Note: this programme will run throughout the whole term – if the class falls on a Public Holiday you will have the opportunity to do a make-up class at another time.
