Are you inspired by the Great British Sewing Bee, would you like to learn to paint and draw or are you interested in being self-employed?
Choose Sewing & Textiles if would you like to learn how to make clothes or professionally upcycle old clothes. Choose art if you’ve always wanted to be able to paint and draw but don’t know how to start. These practical courses will allow you to develop the skills and knowledge required. You will work with simple projects initially up to much more challenging projects by the end of the course. Taking part in group creative activities can also help improve your health and well-being, which is ideal for supporting you and your family.

We aim to help you to develop:

• skills in Sewing & Textiles or art
• the underpinning knowledge of the practical processes
• your knowledge of enterprise and opportunities for employment in the creative sector
• the skills to progress to further learning .

On these courses you will:

• develop a portfolio of work
• use materials, tools, and equipment correctly and safely 
• develop research skills
• evaluate your own work and develop ideas
• develop an understanding of health and safety in the classroom.

You can follow an interest, progress to qualifications, and prepare for employment or self-employment in the creative industries.
So, why not take this chance to learn new skills and develop your creative passion. Teachers have experience of working in the industry and we offer courses at all levels from complete beginners to Level 2. These courses will help you to think creatively, solve problems, and provide you with transferable skills useful for everyday life and for any job. Creative-related jobs may be in self-employment or in employment as an artist, designer, art therapist, art gallery curator, textile designer, art teacher, machinist, and much more.
