Workshops & Courses
If you are interested in becoming more crafty, either either for your own personal pleasure or if you want to sell/display your own craft work, then Time4me Sewing & Craft Workshops now offers even more craft courses.
All my classes are small in size (usually no more than 6 people) and are run from my new studios at the Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum. More courses will be added subject to demand. If you have a special requirement then please let me know.
If you are a crafty person and would like to run your own courses/classes here at the Brickworks then please contact me. I have a room available for hire and can help you organise your classes.
