Workshops and Classes:

Karie Westermann                

Karie’s loves storytelling and craft and her work manages to combine the two. I love her idea that textiles are so much more than merely being something to keep us warm. Karie’s classes are in Knitting the Landscape –  knitwear design inspired by landscapes and – Lace Traditions

Beverley Dott

Beverley’s class is on Fairisle knitting

His podcasts are well known  (Beardychiel’s Knitting Banter)  John’s class is Design your own Shawl focusing on aspects of design such as lacework and textured stitches, shades and colours
