There is an intake for these classes in March 2021 and you can visit their website here for more information and who to contact to take part. Below is some information from the charity.
We will be using both traditional and digital skills but no previous experience is needed. Participants will receive a tote bag full of materials that each week will be explored with exciting and unexpected results. The workshops will each start with a short group action in which we will all make a collaborative work together followed by a longer individual activity making along-side one another in smaller break out groups.
