In the studio · Truro

Come and make something.

Small groups in the studio at The Gwel, with a machine each and somebody at your shoulder when it goes wrong. Materials are in the price unless a workshop's own page says otherwise.

See the dates Lunch is next door

This is a demonstration shop. The workshops, dates and prices below are real and come live from the booking system — but a booking made here is not fulfilled and no payment is taken, because the engine runs in test mode and cannot charge a card.

What is bookable now

Straight from the booking system, so a date that has gone is not on this page. Places left are real numbers, not a scarcity trick.

How a workshop day actually goes

The same shape whichever one you book.

  • Arrive from half nine

    Coffee in the café first if you want it. We start properly at ten, and nobody minds if the A30 has had opinions about your morning.

  • Everything is here

    Machine, thread, fabric, tools. Bring your own machine only where the workshop asks you to — and it asks because learning on the one you go home to is the point.

  • Lunch in the middle

    An hour off, and the café is fifteen steps away. Tell us about dietary requirements when you book rather than on the day.

  • You leave with the thing

    Finished, or close enough to finish at home with instructions that make sense a week later. Nobody goes home with a bag of offcuts and good intentions.

Or come every month

Art Club and Sewing Club are memberships rather than one-off days: a regular session in the studio, discount on materials, and the new dates before they go public.

Art Club A monthly session at the easel — drawing, watercolour, acrylic, sketchbook work — with a tutor in the room and no expectation that you have done it before. The current monthly price is on the club's own card in the shop. See it in the shop Sewing Club A monthly session at the machine, on your own project or ours. Bring the half-finished thing that has been in the cupboard since March. The current monthly price is on the club's own card in the shop. See it in the shop
