Guest tutors working with InStitches in 2021
We're delighted to be able to welcome you all back to the studio soon
(5th April 2021)
In line with the government's Covid roadmap, we are delighted to be able to announce that we are planning a staged re-opening of the studio. We continue to monitor government guidance closely so that we can keep ourselves, all our students and guest tutors safe.
From April 12th students on our in-house courses will return to the studio, including those on year-long courses who have been learning via Zoom for what seems so long now. Others include Free Motion Quilting, Judith Needham's Weave your own Chicken and our introduction to dyeing days, all of which tend to attract people who live locally and therefore do not need to travel long distances or have overnight stays.
From May 17th (if nothing changes) we will be fully open for all courses and workshops, including guest tutors, as we believe that by then people will be able to travel longer distances and stay overnight in hotels and guest houses.
We have reconfigured the studio and reduced the number of benches so there’s plenty of room for social distancing. We have good hand-washing facilities and have hand sanitiser situated throughout the studio, and we've introduced a robust cleaning schedule. Our large studio is light and airy and we will be keeping doors and windows open as much as possible to increase natural ventilation (so you might like to bring an extra, warm layer of clothing). Whilst working at your bench you will be 2m from other students but you will still need to wear a face covering, especially when watching demonstrations and moving around the studio.

Treat yourself to some creative fun this year with a special workshop from InStitches working in conjunction with some of the country's most creative artists - textile and otherwise.
This is a great opportunity to try something a little bit different to spark your creativity and feed into your own work - or just for a change. If you're looking for a new approach to your work, wonder what mixed media is all about or have always fancied having a try at something new, here's your chance!
And we'll supply nearly everything you need, so you won't need to source a load of new stuff (unless you want to . . .) and, of course, coffee and biscuits, a light lunch and tea and cakes to make the perfect day out. Bring a friend. Bring two . . .
The workshops take place in our new studio, a spacious modern building on the borders of Eversley and Wokingham, which has plenty of parking on site with level access to the building. If you don't live within travelling distance but would still like a treat, why not come and stay locally? Click here for more details of where to stay.
