Workroom Training

Our Workroom Training Days give a unique opportunity to watch, learn, take part and ask questions about every aspect of the workroom, including procedures and techniques, handling fabrics, machinery and equipment and making up a wide variety of furnishings. Suitable for all levels of ability. You can attend for one or two days at a cost of £105 per day, joining in with our workroom team, taking a chance on what is going through our workroom on a mutually agreed day (or a maximum of two consecutive days). Please contact us here with a choice of possible dates and we will let you know by return, the dates we have available.

Alternatively, if you have a project of your own to work on (e.g. curtains or blinds) and you would feel more confident tackling the job here with us, we can offer one or two days (7 hours per day) of one-to-one help with one of our highly trained young ladies, for £155 per day. This will assist you in completing the project to a very high-end workroom standard. Dates would be arranged to suit you and of course our workroom schedule would have to be taken into account.

A packed lunch is advisable but if you wish to buy your lunch locally the shops of Penrith are only a few minutes walk away.
