This workshop was brilliantly resourced with a fantastic. range of varied materials. The teaching and facilitation were also of very high-quality.. the session was well timed with most of us being able to completely finish a small tapestry. The quality of the work produced was very high..
This was my first ever experience of weaving and I learnt the basic skill set. I’d recommend it to anybody interested in learning about tapestry.

My daughter and I booked to do the Japanese Kanzashi fabric flower Workshop and it was amazing. It was a wonderful mother and daughter half term activity for me! The choice of materials is incredible. There were lots of colourful fabrics to choose from and also amazing buttons and beads to embellish our fabric flowers with. The Tutor Ellie and her assistant were very supportive and patiently showed us how to make the fabric flowers. They were attentive to each person if we got stuck . We were also given a glass of wine and other drinks. They had relaxing music on and so it was a very calm and relaxing experience. The flowers look so complex when they are finished, but I was surprised how easy they were to make. I would thoroughly recommend this textile workshop!

Excellent workshop making flowers from scrap fabrics. A seemingly complex process was simply explained and with very little sewing I made two beautiful flowers that I will wear in the future. A very enjoyable and satisfying experience.

A lovely evening making a purse out of a tie. I was curious to explore first hand what I could make of it and it was surprisingly easy and fun. Fran is an awesome tutor, patient and gentle with a great sense of humour. The glass of wine was a lovely addition.

This workshop was well structured, relaxed, and informative. Several different stitching techniques what demonstrated with plenty of time for practice and time for creative expression. The studio was warm relaxed and very well resource..

I loved this class. A great room. People in the group were all made to feel welcome and Ellie supported me with learning different stitches. I fully recommend this class - This one was free but I would pay for it in future. Well worth it.

Relaxing doodle stitching evening with a glass of wine. Ellie, the tutor, showed us how to stitch a variety of stitches and came round all of us for a personal explanation and check to see how we were getting on. We sat in a happy room full of textiles and threads, buttons and needles. An absolute delight!

It was my first time in the Make & Mend Studio. It was an amulet workshop, and provided an opportunity to develop a very personal piece of textile. The session was both brilliantly facilitated and resourced.
I came along because wanted to improve my sewing skills and deepen my understanding of working with textiles. Both objectives achieved, and a nice amulet to take home

This place is a haven, it has really enabled me to grow artistically and see how my music career and visual arts can inform one another and evolve! So pleased I have been able to take courses here and the bonus of it being child friendly perfect for a creative parent, a must the modern times we live in!

Really enjoyed the make and mend class. I took along a load of clothes that needed repairing. The lovely tutor gave me lots of ideas and guidance on the best way to repair my clothes. I haven't hand sewn or used a machine for yrs and the tutor helped me to repair everything I had brought in and I now feel confident to hand sewn and use a machine. The textiles studio is lovely and chilled, and there were drinks, snacks and cakes provided. It was a lovely evening and I would definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in textiles etc. The tutor is very knowledgeable and patient around a variety of techniques.

The environment is welcoming and inspiring, the refreshments are generous and varied, and the class is just the right balance of guidance and independence (as with the Mosaic class I took this spring).
Morgane encouraged us to take risks, advised using her textile expertise, assisted us as needed, and created a relaxed, friendly social atmosphere.
Art4Space is nourishing.

I got to learn a new skill that I can use to mend my children's clothes.
Archana - 25 June 2024
I had a wonderful evening at the new Art4Space Textile/ Make and Mend Studio . Our lovely Tutor, Natti showed us how to make a beautiful patchwork lined purse with a zip, which I absolutely love! We could choose our fabric combination from a selection of beautiful fabric cotton squares, and the Studio Is very well resourced so we had a sewing machine each. The sewing machines had been serviced and were working beautifully. At the end, we sewed some beads as a decoration to our purse, from the amazing collection of textile resources in the studio. It was a very relaxing and creative experience because the studio is set in a lovely garden and Natti even gave us a glass of wine and chocolate cake! I would highly recommend

I really enjoyed this session.
It was great! My instructor was very helpful and showed us all step by step how to make the purse.
I liked that I could learn the quilting technique during these session and I would like to use it in my future sewing projects.

Lovely class with Natti. We learnt a new and quick way of making patchwork. I also learnt to put a zip by machine and how to use a special Zip foot on the sewing machine . A very pleasant way of spending an evening. The purse I made is beautiful. I will definitely recommend the course
