We are an online educational platform that helps creative learners to achieve success in their chosen specialism.

With many years of experience in teaching in Further Education, Naomi and Deirdre came together in 2014 to set up a successful private studio to help to fill the gap in craft skills training. Since then, we have provided tuition for learners at all levels across a range of specialisms. In response to the pandemic, we developed courses online to enable students to learn at their own pace and in their own environment.
Working in collaboration with Artybird Carnforth we offer City & Guilds Accredited Programmes in Upholstery, Pattern Cutting and Tailoring
