Summer School is open to stitchers of all abilities, whether you are a complete beginner or have been stitching for more years than you care to remember.
Scalford Hall was chosen because it is almost the central point of our widespread region and is one of the few places where all our activities can take place under one roof. The previous two venues had separate eating & sleeping accommodation, ok when the weather's fine but not when it rains! Added to that it is a nice Country House set in lovely surroundings with excellent food. We offer approximately 16 hours of tuition starting on the Friday evening through to mid afternoon on Sunday.
Above all Summer School is a place to meet like-minded people in friendly and comfortable surrounding giving you the opportunity to work on developing your stitching techniques for a whole weekend.
I hope this gives you a better understanding of Summer school but if you have any further questions please email Marianne Young
