The timetable is open for you to choose whichever combination of dates that suit you for your course. We know life can be busy so you don't necessarily have to attend consecutive days, you can pick and choose a selection of dates that suit you.
You might be in a class when others are making handbags, leather belts or pattern cutting, it's a great chance to see how other products are produced and assembled.
The classes are small varying from 4-8 students depending on the course. There will be a max of 6 students per tutor, so plenty of one to one tuition. We have 2 classrooms and 8 sewing machines.
