Calling all wannabe sewing bees! Today’s workshop is just the tickets for those who have an old sewing machine gathering dust. Maybe you’ve inherited a sewing machine and want to learn to use it? Or perhaps you simply want to get started on your sewing journey, to brush up on a few skills.

All those brilliant skills executed by you on your machine!

Firelight Trio

£16/£13(c) • Friends £14/£11(c)

Meet Firelight Trio. Three 'musical giants' collaborate to explore and celebrate European music that is evocative, inventive, and endlessly exciting.

Ruth’s resonant nyckelharpa (a bowed instrument, originally built & played by farmers and craftspeople in the northern Uppland in Sweden) is matched by Gavin’s powerhouse fiddle, all backed up by Phil’s splendidly inventive accordion and piano, to create a rich, resonant tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe-tapping klezmer, dazzling original tunes and more.

Weaving on a Body-tensioned Loom

£70/£67(c) • Friends £68/£65(c)

Enjoy a mindful and richly rewarding day of working in “slow textiles” with the ever-brilliant textile artist Rebecca Connolly.

As you learn the key skills of weaving, design and use of colour in weave, you’ll create a handful of pieces of woven fabric; the outcome being an experimental sampler, some ‘conventional’ cloth or a decorative hanging to adorn your home.
