About the course

The Textiles for Wellbeing course offers a welcoming, relaxed, and supportive environment where students have the opportunity to experiment and play with textiles, discovering innovative techniques and exploring the boundless possibilities of repurposing and reusing materials and learning new creative skills. There are no formal assessments.

How is the course delivered and assessed?
Classes are workshop-based in a community venue, where students receive instruction through tutor demonstrations and worksheets. Additional support is available for those who may have dexterity and coordination challenges. The course allows students to work at their own comfortable pace, ensuring a positive and inclusive learning experience for all. There are no formal assessments. Students will work towards a personal Tailored Learning Outcome regarding their physical health, mental health and developing stronger communities. During the beginning of the course, the tutor will spend 1:1 time with students to determine which learning outcome they would like to work towards. The course runs weekly for 10 weeks during term time.
