Several new courses are being introduced including the creative Photo Patchwork Cushion (six week course) which will help you keep some of your treasured family memories immortalised on a patchwork cushion or bag.

An experienced tutor will provide a step-by-step guide in this workshop for which a sewing machine is ideal, but not essential, as these simple designs can be hand-stitched. Fabrics and materials can be supplied, just bring along some of your cherished pictures to this great new course.

Also new is a Windows 8 class. Just bring along your laptop and a skilled tutor will teach you the essentials on how to navigate this new system, the apps and personalise it to suit your needs.

In response to feedback from previous classes, iPad and Tablet Essentials classes have been separated due to the differences in the devices. ARCHES are also introducing an Advanced iPad course, for those who want to know more.
