Classes
I'm currently building a collection of workshops covering different aspects of machine knitting. There are classes and workshops that you can book and you can also contact me to discuss one to one tuition or delivering a workshop or course in your venue. Bookings for May and June are open now. Autunm and winter dates will be advertised from the beginning of August.
Machine Knitting 101
Wednesday afternoon 13:00 to 16:00 - June 25
Saturday mornings 10:30 to 13:30 - June 14 & 28
Click here for more details and booking.
Your first three hour session will cover opening the box and setting up the machine, cast on methods, plain knitting and cast off methods. Subsequent workshops will cover increasing, decreasing, cables, lace and other techniques. Class size is a maximum of 2, enabling a student-centred workshop/tutorial approach. The exact content is determined by the students' needs and questions at individual sessions. All teaching uses the Silver Reed LK150 machine but if you have a machine already I will try to match you with something similar from my collection. The skills taught are transferable to most models.
Cost per person per session £66
Hacked Knitting Machine Experience Day
Thursday 26 June 10:00 to 16:00
Click here to book
This event is perfect for machine knitters looking to explore the intersection of technology and traditional crafts. The workshop will cover two approaches to using domestic knitting machines with digital images. We will cover the creation of suitable files and you will design and make a small piece to take home. With only two participants per workshop you can be sure of personal attention and a student centred approach.
Fee per person per day £175
