New to our programmes?
You do not need to know everything before you begin.
Many of our programmes are designed specifically for people learning a skill for the first time.
Look for courses marked Beginner or No Previous Experience Required.
More experienced learners can choose programmes designed to build specialist skills or take their existing practice further.
Flexible
Learn from home and, where programmes allow, revisit lessons at a pace that works for you.
Practical
Learning is built around making, practising and applying new skills.
Supported
Our programmes are designed to provide guidance rather than leaving you to work everything out alone.
Inclusive
Clear demonstrations, visual teaching and different ways of engaging with learning are built into our approach.
Specialist
Learn from tutors with practical knowledge and experience within the subjects they teach.
Accessible
Online learning helps us reach learners who may be unable to attend our physical studio because of distance, circumstance or the way they prefer to learn.

Learn from home, without doing it alone.
While one of the greatest advantages of online learning is flexibility, one of its greatest challenges can be isolation.
We want to keep the flexibility while reducing the isolation.
Our live programmes create opportunities to learn alongside other people, ask questions, share progress and feel part of a wider creative community. Our community groups and chats outside the live classes keep the conversation going.
Even when learning happens from different homes, we can still make together.

“I attended a beginners workshop which allowed me to get familiarised with a sewing machine in just a couple of hours. Tolumi is a fabulous teacher and an all-round ray of sunshine! I left feeling inspired.”
