All Things Crafty is a
textile studio run by Emma Learoyd & Jan Merryweather. From this quiet
industrial unit on Crocus Street, (2 mins from Nottingham train station) they
produce gorgeous hand made goods & run a variety of fun & inspiring
workshops.
Emma's background is textile design, having earned a degree from
Nott'm Trent University, Jan's background is City & Guilds in Soft
Furnishings. Their love of textiles & craft brought them together on a
felting course in 2009 and they became firm friends. All Things Crafty was
launched in July 2011.
Initially teaching creative embroidery, their workshops
have gone from strength to strength and now there is a full programme of
inspiring workshops including basic sewing, machine embroidery, felt making,
printing fabric, soft furnishings, card making ,dress making, bag making and
much much more.
Their philosophy is very much about 'passing on their
passion for all things crafty' and they love nothing more than seeing the
variety of products produced by their students at the end of their one day
workshops. Photographs of all their students work can be seen on their facebook
pages.
Their children's sewing classes & birthday parties are popular
& if you like sewing but need company their Sew Social evenings are the
perfect time to get that project finished in great like minded company.
Being a local business and both living in West Bridgford/Ruddington they
love to support local businesses too, arranging meetings at Taste or Tiffin,
buying fabric from Cowan's, buying cards/gifts from living HQ or Daisy Daisy
when they don't have time to make them!
