Witchford Creative Textiles Evening Class

Last year we did a trial run at Witchford Village College of evening classes on 'Screen Printing Fabric'.  I was curious to see if we could fit a whole practical textiles class into a 2 hour session.  And, it actually worked out really well.  

It turned out to be a great opportunity for working people to unwind and have some  creative time for themselves. Or for anyone who is a parent in a relationship to give their partners some quality time with the kids ........and themselves the opportunity to come out and play!




So this year we're doing  'Creative Textiles for All'.  That means it's a more general class and we'll be working trying out a different technique each evening.  




We'll start working with the theme  "Expression in Black and White"   This means that if you're a beginner you can try out several materials without breaking the bank - you'll only need 2 colours.  It also means that you'll be starting with a strong design foundation which can be translated into colour another time.  And, of course, you'll be making exciting pieces right from the start.  



We're doing a 5 week run, with the possiblity of extending in the summer term.  


You really don't have to have any previous art or textiles experience to do this class.  Just come along with a curious mind, experiment, have fun and see where it takes you.

Cottenham Summer School 2020

Just  a quick post to say that Summer School Program is online, Hooray! 

Lots of great art and textile classes (and of course the lunches):

As always Sensational Screen Printing is very popular so if you'd like to do it, contact the college and strike while the iron is hot! (to use a textile metaphor).
















We have a friendly studio atmosphere in this class so everyone can work at their own level and achieve their own patterns and print on cloth. Help and instruction are given whenever needed so it doesn't matter how much or how little experience you have.

Excited - I can't wait to see what creative fabrics people will come up with this year!
