It's been a while since we covered French Link Stitch in our repertoire of bookbinding classes, but a few of you have been in touch to say that you missed out previously and would like another chance to learn this creative technique. The exposed spine of the book incorporates ribbons, lace or fabric remnants, allowing you to make even more personal customisations to your finished book. And don't forget, Cass will share her instructional videos with you after the class, so she'll still be with you every step of the way when you bind your next book, and the one after, and the one after that at home!

Meet Eilidh Weir - textile artist, sustainability advocate, and our wonderful guide to the art of visible mending. Eilidh’s passion for giving fabrics a second life is truly inspiring. Visible mending isn’t just about fixing clothes - it’s about celebrating wear and tear, making each piece unique, and reducing textile waste. Spending time repairing your clothes not only prolongs their lifespan, but increases your attachment to them so that you will want to keep repairing and restoring them.⁣ Join us for our contribution to Sustainable Fashion Week 2026 and start putting together your toolkit of skills for a more sustainable future!⁣

Spend THIS SUNDAY doing something truly memorable and meaningful at our spoon carving workshop with Louise Forbes. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or have never picked up a chisel, this workshop is your chance to learn from a master as you create a spoon that’s entirely your own. Using sustainably sourced Scottish wood, you’ll be guided step by step through the carving, filing, and sanding process in our bright and friendly studio. It’s a day of creativity, relaxation, and plenty of laughs. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a stunning spoon and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of handcrafted art.

Same technique, a multitude of varied outcomes! In our two day frame basket workshop you can customise the design of your basket to incorporate different handle types, or no handles at all. Make your basket to suit your style or your home by selecting from the warm hues of willow available and weaving them into contrasting stripes, or stay with minimalist monochrome. Round or oval. Functional flat platter, decorative wall plaque or useful domed bowl. It's up to you. Anna will give individual attention to each of you so that you can achieve your basketry hopes and dreams!
