‘This is an ongoing course for textile designers wanting to progress their work. Meeting for a day every two months, the next 3 sessions are on February 1, March 28 and May 23. We are deliberately a small group so that we can discuss our projects and ideas in a confidential environment. More mentoring, and mutual support, benefitting from Sarah’s many decades of work in the industry, her creative process and problem solving. So far it’s been transformative for those who have participated. Participants can join in at any time.’
