Bristol

Brushstrokes Courses provides art instruction and courses, building creative confidence in a variety of artistic skills, from drawing to painting. Students are given individual support and taught best practices while remaining encouraged to explore their own artistic identity. Founded in 2020 by qualified art teacher Laura Truesdale, Brushstrokes has already helped over 100 artists learn the skills to create their masterpiece. Each Brushstrokes course is designed to accommodate, grow, and challenge artists at every level. Beginners will enjoy Laura’s encouragement and fun teaching style. Intermediate students will be challenged to push themselves. Established artists will find new inspiration or engage with novel mediums to round their craft. Each week’s lessons build on the week prior, creating habits and artistic tools that will stick for life. Free from institutional restraints, Brushstrokes puts student wellbeing back at the heart of the classes. Laura draws on her background in social work, PGCE training, and over a decade of teaching experience to ensure students are supported. If you want to learn the history of art, the context of a piece of work, build your creative confidence, develop technical skill, brush up on your existing skills, or be inspired, then Brushstrokes Courses is for you. Laura gained her BA in Art from the University of Reading in 2013 and went onto to achieve her PGCE in Secondary School Art Teaching in 2016. Since receiving Qualified Teacher Status in 2017, she has taught in the local community, before establishing Brushstrokes Courses in January 2020.

Wisteria Workshop

wisteria workshop

London

I started Wisteria Workshop seven years ago selling original pieces of reupholstered furniture and cushions at markets and independent shops. As my confidence grew I took on commissions which is now the core of my business. I also started having small upholstery classes taught in my workshop beside the Wisteria. Covid put a stop to them and I haven't started them up again yet. I am very passionate about saving our precious resources from waste and land fill. We really don't need to buy new every time as there are so many beautiful chairs that just need some work and they will last for many more years. In 2020 a new side of my business has developed in partnership with another recycling independent. We are reusing fabric and adult clothes and creating original quality children's clothes...Kinder Garments. 2021 brought another exciting challenge to my business East St Emporium. |A collective of over 30 Makers and Designers within eight shops. I share a shop and directorship . We opened in September and are working hard to spread the word about such a beautiful shop.

Leather Needle Thread

BRISTOL

I set up Leather Needle Thread in 2016 teaching handbag making workshops in Bristol, UK. Having guided over 300 people to make their own DIY leather bags (and the odd espadrille and leather sneaker!) from scratch I learnt what they found challenging, what they enjoyed and how they developed a sense of pride in their abilities. I have been a leatherworker for over 10 years and studied bag design and construction at the London College of Fashion before going on to work in the industry as a leatherworker and sample maker. The bag making kits were dreamed up because I wanted to give people a way to easily make covetable leather bags from beautiful materials, minimal tools and pared-back techniques in their own home.

I'm a choir leader, composer and singer based in Bristol, UK. Having performed as a singer-songwriter  [https://rosiesingssomesongs.bandcamp.com/]for over 20 years, I understand the power of music to connect people and evoke emotion. I pour the same passion into my work as a choir leader and, more recently, as a composer for choirs.  I run workshops in Bristol and all over the UK. I'm very excited to be running a brand new series of 2024 workshops which I've named 'Saturday Sings'. In each of these workshops, I will share the teaching with a fantastic guest composer, and we will take it in turns to sing our own SATB choir songs. The composers joining me are, in date order, Helen Chadwick, Katy Rose Bennett, Anna Tabbush, Emily Roblyn, Ben See and Helen Yeomans.  I love hearing my music come to life through the voices of others. As a member of the Natural Voice Network [https://www.naturalvoice.net/our-members/member-profile/?profile=427], I welcome every voice to my choirs and workshops. I teach by ear, and there is no need for prior experience or to read music. As a composer I love to create accessible, harmonically satisfying and inspiring songs that bring people together and lift their spirits. I look forward to singing with you in 2024!

I am a freelance designer-maker, applied artist, crafts-woman, whatever you want to call me – I stitch stuff by hand; fabric, metal, porcelain, leather, vitreous enamel.. . My work is various, it depends whether I am working for myself, to commission or collaborating with other artists. But whatever I do is slow to make; detailed hand stitching in any material whether in silk, linen, wool or wire takes time, consequently my work is also slow to evolve. I decided to show on this site what I do, who I am work with, how I work and also how I think. I want to show the work behind HER WORK not just the finished things. The journey from the first idea, searching, researching, drawing, sampling and eventually making the finished piece. You will be able to watch my work progress, or not; maybe by seeing this record people will come to value making that is manufactured by hand, heart and eye. In May 2010 I developed – Heart Space Studios ( from my yoga practice “Put your Hands in your Heart Space”) and for 5 years it was a space in Bristol England for all things textile. The activities at the studios can still be viewed – I closed the studio workshops in 2015 – the classes remain on this site as part of the blog, they contain many of my most popular posts….. Heart Space Studios continues as a group of makers who develop projects primarily for publishing companies. Most notably we work with designer Kaffe Fassett in the production of his patchwork quilt books and other fabrics.

Taiji Works

taiji works

Bristol

This website aims to share with you some of the pleasures and benefits of Tai Chi (TaiJi) and the related disciplines of Qi Gong (Taijiwuxigong), Buqi and Meditation - and my work as a teacher and practitioner of these arts. Tai Chi has been described as 'Everything'. This may sound a bit grand but the practice of Tai Chi can have a far reaching positive effect on many areas of life. It does this by working with all the different parts of a person: the physical, mental, energetic and spiritual. Regular practice can help life get smoother and increases your awareness of yourself and your environment in many new and exciting ways. My goal is to share the benefits of Tai Chi. I specialise in adapting Tai Chi so that it can be safely practised by everyone - no matter their age or health. Welcome Is Tai Chi Good for Balance? Current thinking is that balance starts to be challenged from your mid 40's onwards. It is affected by a range of different factors but one thing is clear is that Yang style Tai Chi can help maintain and improve your balance. Have a look at this article in The Guardian: 'Can you stand on one leg for 10 seconds? Why balance could be a matter and life - and how to improve yours'
