Teens art journalling  - Thames Ditton

Macrame is back!! If you are into interior design you only have to look at the high street to see all kinds of this gorgeous textile art and understand why it's having a renaissance.

Macrame is simply knots created with rope to create decorative and also functional pieces of art. It's an addictive craft that shows you instant results in a couple of hours and the best thing about it is that anyone can do it!

Learn how to make a beautiful Macramé Plant Hanger. We will teach you the basic Macramé knotting techniques and give you lots tips. You will take home a fully finished plant hanger! All materials included (but not a plant pot) as well as a help sheet for you to take home so you can re-create the pattern or one of your own designs. 

Please note the plant hangers in class will be made with cream, neutral coloured cord, so as to compliment any colour scheme in your home.

We look forward to sharing our love of knots with you!

Macrame Plant Hanger

Laura Moss

We had a fantastic time with Vicky making our macrame hanging pot holder. She was patient, knowledgeable and made us feel at ease straight away. It was like spending a morning with a friend. My mum and I are very pleased with our finished product. The only thing that could have made it better would have been if a pot had been provided to complete the product.

Mel Angel

Brilliant. The tutor was lovely and explained everything so well. My first proper outing alone since lockdown so I was very nervous but very reassured by how well set up the workshop was in these unusual times. Thank you so much.

Jamil Manoga

Zara Beneytout-Olson

Our daughter has been attending the teen sewing club for over a year and it has been the most amazing experience. Not only has she learned quite impressive skills and sewing and crocheting techniques but also it is a great space for her to do what she enjoys amongst other like minded teens her age.  Another extra bonus has been her ability to use what she has learned in her secondary school Textiles classes as well as make lots of cute things for friends and family! Soon I am going to have her make some gorgeous cushions for the house and hem her sister’s uniform instead of having to go to the shops - a win win! :-) 

Letizia Montalbetti

Textile Club is a fantastic place to learn and create! The environment is welcoming and friendly, making it easy to feel comfortable and inspired.

Wire wrapping crystal jewellery 

A great class , learnt a lot about wire wrapping and have a beautiful pair of earrings and lots of new ideas to take away. 
Friendly, engaging and clear teaching. 

Alice Trouncer

My fourth class at Craft My Day and another lovely one! We could make pendants or earrings, choosing from four different types of crystals (mostly very cool rough-cut / raw), plus some other beads, with gold or silver-coloured wire and fittings. The technique is very visually striking, and gives lots of opportunities for personal choice and creativity, but Mandy teaches it so well that I was able to pick it up fairly quickly, so I made quite a few pendants, all of which I loved. I then turned some of the pendants into necklaces with some basic jewellery-making stuff I have at home. I love the pieces and have already had compliments! Mandy gave us lots of info on where to buy materials so we could keep making in future. She's an excellent teacher, and really lovely to talk to, and I'm planning to book more classes with her. 

Nita Dhumal

I love, love, loved this class. I thought the technique was going to be really difficult but Mandy explained it all so clearly and now I just need to practise, practise. The class was so much fun too. Afterwards, I went home and ordered the jewellery wire and various crystals and made 5 pendants for my friends (as a practise-run). They were delighted with them. I highly recommend this class.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was my first time using a sewing  machine and I have managed to come back home with a tote bag made by me 

Jenny Yip

I  never touch or use a sewing machine, so I am a complete beginner to learn how to use one and certainly did not expect to come away with a bag made by myself at the end of the 3 hours lesson ! I thoroughly enjoyed the practical lesson demonstrated and the interaction with the teacher is most valueable in grasping the concept of sewing and produced an item in such a short time at the end ! Amazing ! Thank you very much .

Emma ODonnell

Great - I’d never touched a sewing machine before my lesson and left 3 hours later having made my very own tote bag! Sarah-Jane was a great teacher. I’ll definitely book on to other classes to learn how to make cushions, make up bags etc. Highly recommend!  

GRAHAM CRONEY

A very intense but enjoyable 3 hours. Excellent tutor who made everyone feel relaxed and encouraged self-confidence. I had never touched a sewing machine before and was therefore amazed at how professional my tote bag looked.
