A dynamic and interactive one-day or two-half-day live virtual workshop for women leaders in business, government and non-profit organizations.
Runs on Sundays 25th Februrary and 2nd March 10:30-3:30 Make the fab Tilly and the Buttons Coco or Billy dress in this one day class. These dresses are made from knitted fabric and therefor a great pattern to make in a short time - No zips or buttonholes! It should just fit straight out of the envelope. This is a good class to learn about using stretch fabrics on a domestic sewing machine. For a more in-depth class covering fitting please join the 3 day dressmaking course instead. The pattern for this garment is included in the class fee, as are the machines, haberdashery, endless tea and coffee. All you'll need to bring is the fabric for your dress, I will discuss the exact amount and what kind is suitable once the class is booked. This is a small class so you will get lots of time with me. I will have a maximum of 4 students in the class but usually we just have 2 or 3. Event Terms & Conditions Classes need to be paid for at the time of booking. They will only run once the minimum number of students is met. My studio sadly isn’t accessible to those with mobility issues. I have cats but no soft furnishings or carpets in the studio so most people with allergies are fine with antihistamines.
Courses are aimed at supporting engineering apprentices and T-Level learners who are taking their first steps into the workplace environment, providing basic information in a range of key health and safety hazards in the engineering workplace. Modules allow an understanding of the concept of hazard and risk, a learner's own and their employer's legal obligations, the types and nature of safety hazards and how to avoid the hazard or reduce its risk of causing harm and how to respond to emergency situations. In addition to common mandatory health and safety modules, learners will also choose modules relevant to their occupational pathway.

In the past, popular thought treated artificial intelligence (AI) as if it were the domain of science fiction or some far-flung future. In the last few years, however, AI has been given new life. The business world has especially given it renewed interest. However, AI is not just another technology or process for the business to consider - it is a truly disruptive force.
In this private workshop, you'll learn the basics of knitting using a vintage knitting machine to create wearable textiles. 🧶What is machine knitting & who invented it? The knitting machine was invented by Englishman William Lee in 1589 to make stockings. it's a very small manual machine that enables the maker to create fine, fast knitting. Machine knitting was one of the first major stages in the textile industry that led to the Industrial Revolution. It’s still in use today but unfortunately, it’s become a forgotten craft! So we’re here to bring it back! During this creative and therapeutic class your teacher Valeria will guide you through designing and making your own knitted artwork. You'll learn how to use the vintage knitting ‘machine’ and listen to the wonderful sound it produces as the needles move. The process of machine knitting enables you to have full control over your design. Many people find machine knitting therapeutic and relaxing as you can watch and listen to your artwork come to life. Not only that the results look like those of an expert (even for absolute beginners). 🧶What can you make? It’s smooth, quick performance is perfect for making a range of knits – from home accessories to stylish garments - knit long trendy scarves, and quirky tote bags in under 3 hours… Smaller items only take minutes to do. Valeria will work with you to design and make what you want. All materials and tools are included and your artwork is yours to take home and wear with pride. 🧶Why use a knitting Machine over hand-held? Unlike hand knitting, the beauty of using a domestic knitting machine is that you can knit fast and use much finer yarns to create wearable textiles with a professional artistic finish. There will be far fewer mistakes making it less stressful & it’s super fast. Your teacher Valeria is an experienced designer/maker with a passion for knitwear.

Assessment and Planning: Survey the area where you want to install CCTV cameras. Identify key areas that need surveillance such as entry points, blind spots, and valuable assets. Determine the number of cameras needed and their types (e.g., dome, bullet, PTZ) based on the coverage required and environmental conditions. Plan the placement of cameras considering factors like lighting conditions, obstructions, and the angle of view required. Selecting Equipment: Choose high-quality CCTV cameras and other necessary equipment such as DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) or NVRs (Network Video Recorders), cables, connectors, power supplies, and storage devices. Ensure compatibility between cameras and recording devices. Consider features like resolution, night vision capability, and weather resistance. Mounting Cameras: Install cameras at the planned locations using appropriate mounting brackets or housings. Ensure cameras are securely fixed to prevent tampering or theft. Adjust the angle and direction of each camera to cover the desired area effectively. Running Cables: Plan the route for cables connecting cameras to the recording device. Use weatherproof cables suitable for outdoor installation. Conceal cables where possible to prevent tampering and maintain aesthetics. Connecting Components: Connect cameras to the DVR/NVR using appropriate cables and connectors. Ensure proper power supply to cameras and recording devices. Configure network settings if using an IP-based CCTV system for remote viewing. Configuring Settings: Access the DVR/NVR interface and configure settings such as recording schedule, motion detection, and video quality. Set up user accounts and passwords to restrict access to the system. Test the system to ensure cameras are capturing footage and recording properly. Remote Viewing (Optional): Set up remote viewing capabilities to access live or recorded footage from smartphones, tablets, or computers. Configure port forwarding on your router if accessing the system from outside the local network. Install and configure the necessary software or mobile apps provided by the CCTV system manufacturer. Testing and Maintenance: Test the system thoroughly to ensure all cameras are functioning correctly and recording as expected. Regularly check and clean cameras to maintain optimal performance. Update firmware and software periodically to patch security vulnerabilities and access new features.
