SEWING Sewing is a craft to be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds and experience. Recent years have seen people returning to sewing as a hobby, a craft and even as a business. Environmental concerns are also driving the rise in the craft; many people are now interested in learning to make and repair their own clothes and soft furnishings instead of buying new ones.

SEWING SKILLS

Beginners may want to start with smaller and more simple projects while they learn the basics of sewing. From there you will develop your skills and techniques. Whether you prefer sewing by hand or machine, we have you covered.

This course is designed for people who have a basic knowledge of sewing, but would like to improve their skills and explore creativity and design in more depth.

You will also learn how to use your own machine and sewing equipment for more detailed and complex techniques and designs.

SEWING FOR BEGINNERS

USING SEWING MACHINES & OVERLOCKERS

Learn how to read patterns and understand the fabrics and equipment. Make clothes, craft and household items. Choose your own project and learn at your own pace.

Learn how to control and operate your sewing machine and overlocker. Learn about different feet, threads, needles and the different techniques that can be achieved with your machine and take your sewing skills to the next level.

 You will need a sewing box with basic equipment.  You will need to bring your own sewing machine.

ART Our art tutor, Charles, is passionate about his work and in helping other people to learn and improve their art. Charles has a long history of commercial experience as an award-winning artist and exhibitor as well as many years’ experience teaching art.

DRAWING SKILLS This course is devoted to the skills involved in making drawings from still life objects. From the humble pencil to charcoal and ink wash, drawing is a skill that can be learned and developed. There will be demonstrations by the tutor and end of session group discussions. There are many aspects and areas to be covered including line, shading, mark-making and perspective. Everyone is welcome and those more experienced may like to consider the benefits of a strict diet of monochrome.

WATERCOLOUR – BEGINNERS, IMPROVERS, ALL LEVELS Our watercolour courses cater for all levels – from complete beginners through to anyone who wants to improve established skills such as thinking, feeling and manipulation. With the aid of an experienced tutor you will also refine the methods and techniques required to enjoy watercolour painting as a leisure activity.

Throughout the course, by demonstration and practical experience, you will encounter a variety of painting situations. It is a course which explores the medium of watercolour in a variety of ways. By the end of the course, you will have learned to compose and produce several paintings and will have built a portfolio which could enable you to progress to more advanced art classes.

MIXED MEDIA In this course each medium is studied over a 10-week block.  Term 1: Oil Painting. Basic techniques and properties of oils for learners, mainly concentrating on landscape and portrait themes and working on canvas where possible.  Term 2: Acrylics. An introduction to the medium, experimenting with collage and impasto and palette knife painting. Themes here would be broadly landscape and still life.  Term 3: Watercolours. Here techniques such as wet in wet, drybrush and wax resist will be explored with mainly landscape themes.

Each course would introduce basic techniques associated with the medium, but there would be an opportunity for more experienced painters to develop their skills or work on projects differentiated to suit more advanced needs.
