Summer course with the WI
Part of my Sue Belton award was spent on a residential course at
Denman
College this summer. I thought you might like to hear about the college, as I found it a wonderful base and the teaching facilities and my tutor were amazing. The course I choice was called overlocker magic, not exactly patchwork I know, but I have used it already, in a piece for a loosethreads exhibition in 2011!
Denman
College is run by the WI and set in the most beautiful part of Oxfordshire, from fleet it took less than an hour to drive up. If you can’t drive they will pick you up from the train station with no charge as part of there green policy. How fabulous is that.The main house and 17 acre’s of garden dates back to Georgian times. The bedrooms in the main house are mostly for shared accommodation as most of them are substantial in size. (Single beds only by the way and all rooms have ensuite.) This is also were we have our meals and drink in the comfortable bar.The rest of the bedrooms are set in houses surrounding the teaching block. Each bedroom is named after a county and is looked after by the WI of that county and therefore each room has a different personality.The teaching block is very impressive; our room had plenty of room, light, machines, cutting mats, rulers, along with plenty of sewing books you could borrow.All in all it was a fantastic break. If you want to check out Denman college www.theWI.org.uk/college they are open to all –members and non-members, men and women and run short residential courses and day schools.I have all ready booked my next course with Ray Slater doing machine Embroidery with water-soluble fabrics.
