After six blissful days relaxing in a vineyard in the south of France and an awesome weekend at Bestival (despite the rain and mud), I decided I needed to re-focus my energy into fulfilling some of my creative desires. Feeling de-motivated at work and experiencing post-holiday blues was a perfect time to start that sewing course.
So, not wanting to commit myself too much (in case I had absolutely no skill or hated it), I decided to partake in a two day course over a weekend, and see how it went before doing anything drastic, like purchasing a machine at vast expense.
I signed up to a course at Cockpit Arts, the UK’s only creative business incubator for designer-makers. What is so great about this place is that it's a registered charity whose aim is nurture talent from its first beginnings to great success. Check out their website - www.cockpitarts.com
What I found, when I rocked up at 10.30am on a sunny Saturday morning at the beginning of September, is an amazing warehouse of talent; studios brimming with creative talent in the form of jewellery, sculpture, cutting edge fashion and interior products. I was in awe of the space.
