After a few bumps in the road, we’re super-excited to announce (finally) that our first City & Guilds knitting programme will be enrolling its inaugural cohort of students next month.

The Introductory Creative Studies – Knitting will be open for enrolments from 14th September.

If you would like to find out more, you can download a prospectus and watch the intro video on the new website.

The Foundation programme syllabus has now been signed off and we are beavering away, putting together the material for our first intake. As this will take a little time we are aiming for enrolments from December with a start date in January (although, given the number of enquiries we will try to bring that date forward if we can!).

Both programmes are accredited by City & Guilds as an affiliate centre of Artybird Carnforth.

We’ll be running the programmes through our sister venture, Making Futures, and you can find out more about what that means over on the new site. Debbie will be teaching the two new programmes with Pete on hand for all the techy stuff so it will be the same familiar faces and personal service.

To find out more and so we can keep you up to date with programme details, sign-up dates and times, please complete the contact form below. We hope to hear from you soon!

Spread the love with a share!
