A selection of first pieces as learners tried out new skills. Well done!

As learners got more confident their techniques improved and work became neater and finished off well.

New techniques successfully mastered.

Finished work

A learner completed her new hat with motif.

Some finished products made with a purpose in mind, eg, the phone holder.
