Classes
Join me in my studio to learn about machine knitting. These student centred classes are aimed at beginners and returners who want to brush up on their skills. Each session is for two students only so you can be sure of personal attention. They take place in my studio in Coburg House Art Studios, Edinburgh. Full details about the venue (including any access issues) will be on the booking site. The remaining summer dates are fully booked. Dates and booking information for next term will be available here shortly.
MACHINE KNITTING 101 - BEGINNERS' WORKSHOPS
A taster session for absolute beginners. We will cover opening the box and setting up the machine, cast on methods, plain knitting and cast off methods. No previous knowledge is assumed. Class size is a maximum of two, enabling a student-centred workshop/tutorial approach. The exact content is determined by the students' needs and questions at individual sessions. All beginners' teaching uses the Silver Reed LK150 mid-gauge machine (pictured) or a Brother KH836 standard gauge machine (student's choice in advance). The skills taught are transferable to most models of machine.
