🎉 Throughout this engaging short course, our experienced tutors will guide budding artisans through the process of designing and crafting their very own textile art piece, whether it's a quilt, sculpture or wearable art item. Students will explore working in 3 dimensions, and use textiles to begin finding their unique creative voice.  With a curriculum designed to inspire and develop artistic skills, students will learn essential art processes, and be part of a supportive creative community.

🖌️ From brainstorming unique designs to mastering textile art techniques this class offers comprehensive support every step of the way. While the course provides a solid foundation, further classes may be required to ensure completion by the competition deadline in early October.  

In 2025, children can only enter this inaugural Student Textiles Competition by completing our course.  We will work with Stitching and Beyond to expand this opportunity to the wider Tasmanian community in 2027.  

Accessibility: Despite our goal to have an accessible sewing classroom, in our current location the classroom is unfortunately up a flight of stairs. There is a small bathroom downstairs, not wheelchair accessible. If you have any queries about the accessibility of our classroom, please give us a call.

We do have a mobile classroom which we take to different venues that are wheelchair accessible, so please do keep an eye out for those classes if you are unable to visit our North Hobart store.
