Service Description
Festive Box Making Workshop: Fabric Covered Box with Hinged Lid Spend a festive day at Bus Stop Studios learning the basics of box making with visiting RSN tutor Rachel Doyle. In this one day class you’ll make a fabric covered box with a hinged lid, using traditional techniques to turn card & fabric into a beautifully finished, practical object. It’s perfect for making as part of a special gift, or as a gift in itself. The box is made by covering card with fabric & then sewing the individual pieces together. For this introductory class, all cutting will be done for you, so there’s no maths or measuring involved. You’ll have a choice of Liberty fabrics with a festive twist for your box, & all equipment & materials are provided. Once you’ve learnt the techniques, you’ll be able to make more at home, ready for gifting this Christmas & beyond. The finished box is approximately 8 x 8 x 4cm. This course is taught in a very small group setting, with plenty of individual guidance & support. Materials: All materials & tools are included in the course price. Just bring glasses if you need them, tie long hair back & wear closed shoes. Keeping classes accessible: Like many small businesses, we’re seeing rising costs, so we’ve made a small increase to our course prices. To keep things fair & sustainable, reduced-fee places are now limited rather than open to everyone. If cost is a barrier, please reach out: we can offer payment plans & once the course has enough bookings to run, a small number of reduced-fee places where possible. Please see our T&Cs for full details about payment & supported places. Date & time: Saturday 12 December, 10:30am to 4:30pm (one hour lunch break) Location: Bus Stop Studios, 53 London Road, St Leonards-on-Sea, TN37 6AY Price: £95, materials included (kit cost £30)
