What Teachers are saying about the Training Rooms?
"I have completed this course this weekend and really enjoyed myself. I brushed up on some techniques I already knew, and can now see some new ideas for them. I really enjoyed the new techniques that I had shied away from before, as I thought they would be too tricky! The tutorial videos are very clear with great demos. Can't wait to experiment more."
"Wow, what a real treat your course is. AMAZING work.Would be super for any teacher, experienced or NQT. And a great place to share ideas and create a bank of ideas. You are offering so many resources for the money people will be paying. An absolute bargain at that price. I have thoroughly enjoyed working through the course."
"Just a quick email. Started the course this morning. Doing honey comb unit this afternoon. So far extremely informative. Easy step by step instructions with clear delivery."
"Hi, just completed the Online Constructed Skills course and really enjoyed making the samples. Have brushed up on a few skills – (the tucks) and have learnt new ones with the smocking, I have always wanted to try it but thought it might be too complicated. Just love the lattice – now I have that under my belt, I will be researching a few more techniques."
"I've just completed an online Constructed Textiles course with the Textiles Skills Academy and I'd like to recommend it to anyone that teaches Art Textiles. I've wanted to attend one of their courses for a while now and with lock down I have managed to succeed. Its a great course! Full of help sheets, video tutorials and samples to make BUT best of all is that as its taught by teachers so it links perfectly to GCSE and A level AOs. I can't wait to get back into the classroom to share my new skills."
"Thanks so much for today’s Zoom session, it was great to end the course with some live action 😁. I didn’t join in the conversations as I’m an art technician rather than a teacher. We don’t teach textiles at my school so when students want to use textiles they come to me. I’m really loving the techniques. I’ll sign up for the next one after half term." Sarah

Left-handed crochet is notoriously difficult to master, as most online videos and tutorials are focused around the right-handed person. Although it is possible for a left-handed person to crochet with their right, I understand the challenge of using your non-dominant hand to control the crochet hook. This is the reason I created this workshop; just for the lefties! 
Taught in a relaxed and patient way, this crochet class introduces you to the essential skills of this rewarding handicraft if you are left-handed.  
Suitable for complete beginners, by the end of this workshop you will: 
Know the difference between US and UK terminology
Understand how your hook size, tension, and yarn weight affects the outcome of your finished piece
Be able to cast a foundation chain
Complete a row of single crochet stitches (US)
Practice the correct way to turn and continue the next row
Skill permitting: Complete a row of double/treble crochet stitches (US) and/or observe the method
All delivered in the comfort of your own home LIVE ONLINE!

Do you have clothes that you’d love to wear again, but they’re stuck in the wardrobe because they need repairs?
This fabulous 3 hour workshop is all about visible mending - and is suitable for all levels, even total beginners!
During this online class you will learn a variety of woven darning techniques, including the classic ‘plain weave’, as well as twill, plaids, hopsack, herringbone and even dogtooth!
Visible mending is great for repairing holes but can also be used to cover stains, and even just to jazz up and customise your clothes! There doesn’t have to be a hole, and believe me once you’ve nailed the technique it can become quite addictive!
You will need:
yarns of your choice
an embroidery hoop
swatches of fabric to practice on, or any garments you’d like to repair
needle
scissors
Upon booking this workshop, you will receive an email containing a Zoom link, plus a PDF of simple simulations to print out. We will use these as a guide during the class.
A video recording of the workshop will be sent out afterwards, for you to look back on at your own pace, re-winding, pausing and fast-forwarding as many times as you like.
We are much less likely to throw our clothes away if we have mended them even just once. Our garment becomes more precious. Once we have invested time into repairing our clothes, and we can see and admire our own hand work, we feel more attached, and proud! It is a GOOD feeling.
And as repairs build up over time, the garment starts to tell its own story, starts to hold memories.
We all know that we cannot go on investing in fast fashion, engaging in this ‘buy-discard-buy-discard’ cycle, compromising on both quality and ethics. It isn’t cheaper if you need to replace clothing often.
Buying better quality (including second hand), and learning how to repair your clothing long term is a much more environmentally friendly and economic choice, plus, mending is a useful (once upon a time, essential) skill that we can pass on to the next generation. And its FUN!
Many people find craft to be therapeutic. Even 5 minutes of stitching a day be beneficial to our wellbeing. This is a craft that teaches us to slow down, and in our digital age, it feels nice to be making something with our hands.
So join me for a fun and colourful three hours of learning, sharing and making, and give your clothes a few extra years of wear!

Learn the unique techniques of the fascinating art of Goldwork Embroidery with a comprehensive design that samples essential specialised goldwork stitches and techniques.
Goldwork is mainly "laid work", much different to other embroidery techniques in that the threads and wires tend to be laid on the fabric rather than stitched through. The result of this is a very rewarding and highly textured finish.

Learning to crochet in the round is essential for all sorts of crochet projects - amigurumi, softies, hats, bags, granny squares . . . I won't pretend it's easy, but it's not as tricky as you might think! 
The 3 bears will be a fun introduction to the principles of crocheting continuously in the round. We'll look at magic rings, even increasing and the single crochet stitch (US terms). We'll also have a little go at other ways to crochet in the round, try some join-as-you-go and creating fancy edging using the single crochet stitch in reverse (crab stitch). 
Depending on your ability you can join me for Week 1 then finish off in your own time, or you can come back for seconds and we can finish off together the following week.
Week 1 | The ears and the start of the bear basket
Week 2 | The muzzle and finishing off
You'll need to have access to ZOOM and the materials listed below to crochet-along. This is a great make for absolute beginners, adventurous beginners looking to push their crochet to the next level, but also fab for refreshing forgotten skills or if you just fancy having a go. Classes are kept small so it's not too overwhelming and everyone gets plenty attention and the opportunity to ask questions.
What you'll need to craft along . . .
yarn - anything from double-knit to super-chunky*
a crochet hook that's around 1/2 the size recommended for your yarn
other yarn for features and embroidered details
stitch markers
2 x 4mm round black beads
a big eye needle and a fine eye needle
black thread
scissors
a bowl of porridge, or a cuppa tea and a biscuit

Round and round the garden, like a teddy bear  . . . a fun and functional project for having a go at crocheting in the round . . .

Saturdays 13th April and 11th May 2024 - 13h00 to 16h00. This class is taught in two sessions of 3h00 (6h00 in total)
Goldwork has been taken to the next level with this contemporary design. Incognito demonstrates how you can mix traditional techniques with contemporary embroidery to create a delight in texture and colour.We will begin by introducing the string padding for the linear work. 
In the second stage, you will be learning how to stitch the beads, sequins and crystals. Finally, you will stitch the silver grid next with smooth silver purl and gold rough purl.
In the second session, we will practise how to stitch the essing with gold and silver purl including the transitions from a thicker to a thinner part on the design. The crystals on settings will be added last to create some depth and sparkle.
Some pre-work prior to the class is required. Stitching the gold and silver pearl purls will be required prior to the class to allow time for more challenging steps in the class. The kit and detailed instructions will be send 1 month before the class starts to allow time for you to do the pre-work.
