A full programme of classes will be available online from August, when we take bookings. All prices will be inclusive of general materials and the use of equipment on the premises.

Need some use of equipment?At the Peacock and the Tortoise you can rent a sewing machine (on the premises) for £5 per hour or part thereof. You will get a bobbin (buy your own thread) and in the comfortable and well-lit surroundings of our classroom you can sew. Included in the price is also the use of our sewing equipment - cutting mat, rotary cutter etc. You can also use our Accuquilt cutting machine which accurately and quickly cuts out lots of different shapes for you ready to patchwork or applique. If you hate cutting your patchwork then this is a great time saver and accurate cutter. We have lots of different "dies" or cutting shapes to choose from, some of which are intricate and difficult to cut by hand. |
Birthday partiesThe Peacock and the Tortoise is happy to host small birthday parties. Please contact us with you requirements. We can offer the children or adults parties in Decopatch, Wet Felting or Personalise a Bag. Parties are £15 per head which includes all materials and teaching.

At least one member of staff will be disclosure checked.
