New course information for 2025-2026. For Patchwork & Quilting enthusiasts, classes are continuing at my new studio here at Mole End, North Somerset (just off Junction 21 on the M5 near Weston-Super-Mare). We’ve had a great year, (I will try and update the galleries soon  (time being the issue)!  As mentioned previously I’ve retired from teaching City & Guilds courses (after a rewarding 25 years) and I’m concentrating now on the short and long-term leisure classes. These are technique based courses – people choose what they want to learn and I teach topics as requested. There are courses to suit all levels of ability from beginner to advanced and I’ve put all the course information under ‘Courses’ in the top menu bar. You’ll see I’ve also added the current availability of places (which I’ll keep updated over the summer).

I prefer to run courses to one-day workshops, as this enables people to get to grips with a technique, develop their own ideas and complete projects (very important)! Some techniques take longer than others of course! There 6 different classes, so if someone has to miss a scheduled date (for whatever reason) they can catch-up the session in another class. This also has the benefit of everyone ultimately getting to know one-another and see what other people are working on, and it enables me to keep the courses cost-effective for everyone.

The Beginner’s class is once a month on Saturdays for ten months from September to early June. It covers a wide range of essential techniques to enable those new to the craft to get to grips with the basics and make a quilt. There are lots of examples on the website of sampler quilts made by absolute beginners. For more further information, dates and costs, click on ‘Select Page’ (for mobile users) or ‘Courses’ in the top menu.
