The event will feature sewing machine classes as well as workshops in beadwork, crochet, cross stitch, dressmaking, embroidery, feltmaking, home furnishing, knitting, lacemaking, patchwork & quilting, tapestry, weaving, spinning and dyeing.

‘Just Knitting’ with Liz Spillane is a free interactive experience of knitting in its many forms. Visitors will be shown how to hand knit in unconventional forms, for example, with no needles, multiple needles, toothpicks, broom handles and wooden peg frames! They will also be shown how to machine knit chunky yarns and also add a drawing to the graphics programming on an electronic knitting machine using the DesignaKnit system. Liz is passionate about knitting and eager to share ideas and inspirations.
