We are planning a slow return to hosting classes as soon as we may after Lockdown.
Classes will be small, 6 in total ( 5 + tutor for taught sessions or 6 places for the Sit and Sews).
Masks are to be worn when coming into the shop but once seated and settled these can be optional unless working closely with the tutor or using shared equipment. They must be worn when moving around.

Active weekly or fortnightly listings are for dressmaking, quilting afternoons, creative hand embroidery, freehand machining and the sit and sews.
We have day workshops from Fran, Gillian and Amy too.

We have ample parking, a large room with hand washing facilities, and keen, experienced tutors, and hopefully The Viking Loom will soon be back to the busy, creative space we can all enjoy.
