Tapestry Kit – Stewart Tartan

I am fascinated by weave and order and Tartans tick all of those boxes. One of my favourite pass times is to sit and look at the Tartan Register, there are so many different tartans to see and it is my ambition to get my own registered in 2016. Obviously I will be creating the block chart for it too!

This kit contains everything you need to stitch the lovely Stewart Tartan:-

Colour Block Charts, Wool, 12 count Interlock Canvas, Needles. Stitching Tartans is so very relaxing and the finished result is an heirloom in the making! Approx 42cm Square when completed on 12 count.

Also available as a block chart only and wool pack option

Short Courses

Our short courses range from two to five days and cover specific skill areas. As with all of our courses they are intensive and ‘hands-on’. Joining a short course is a great way to:-

Develop practical skills
Get specific advice for a project
Take a hobby to a new level
Use as a ‘taster’ before committing to one of our longer courses
Spend a few days by the sea in interesting surroundings learning something new
The short course programme is designed so that people can join one course or, if they wish to build a more extensive training programme, a series of courses. A series of short courses is an alternative for those who are unable to join the 38 week course, or who want to learn a more specific range of skills. If you would like to discuss which course or series of courses is right for you, or have a specific requirement of a course, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We offer a 5% discount on fees to anyone who books two courses or more at the same time.

If you are interested in joining the Wooden Boat Restoration course and have a boat you would like to bring with you to work on please send us details.

Use of tools and materials are included in course fees unless stated otherwise.
