Working with a nude model, this fun, friendly workshop will give you an introduction to Life Drawing skills and techniques.

Join Leeds Drawing Club for a beginner-friendly experience in the unique 16th century historic setting of the Calverley Old Hall Community Space.

All equipment and materials will be provided. You will learn about gesture, proportions, space around the model and tone, and be given ample opportunity to put your learning into practice with a live model and 1:1 support from your tutor.

Learn some of the founding principles of clothes alterations with experienced tutor Alison.

In this session you may just want to take the time to practice existing skills and gain useful advice and insights from Alison. You may want to gain experience in the making alterations such as adding a zip, sewing a curved/circular hem, blind hand stitching on a hem, shortening the length of a skirt or trousers, add darts for a better fit.

A fabulous workshop for those with some existing sewing experience. You will learn how to sew a zip into a plain seam and practice using and changing thread on an overlocker. You will also be able to use an overlocker to neaten all the raw edges in this sample.

Both applying zips and using an overlocker can be a daunting task for many sewers, but under the careful guidance of Alison you will gain the confidence to move forward with your future sewing projects.

So… we accidentally wrote a musical about grief, escapism, the fear of moving on, and being trapped in a nightclub forever. Oops.

A group of friends, each facing their own challenges, stumble into a mysterious club. As the night progresses, they’re pulled into a strange and disorienting experience that forces them to reckon with more than they expected. Blending gritty realism with dark humour, the show explores identity, loss, and the emotional cost of chasing an escape, all underscored with modern EDM.

Noisy Cow Theatre Co are defying heteronormativity to bring forth a production which is unashamedly and delectably queer in all rights: whether you want a gay pirate, a pining romantic, or a genderfluid heartthrob — this play is for you. Gender and identity become remarkably fluid and ever-changing concepts within this beloved play. If there was ever a testament to Shakespeare’s relevance in the modern day, this is it.

In this fun workshop you will explore how to creativly up-cycle your pre-loved garmets and give them a brand new life.

You may want to customise a jacket, dress jeans by adding contrasting fabrics or adding embellishments, applique, frills or bands.

Alternatively, your tutor Alison, will give demos throughout the session where you will learn a variety of sewing and cutting techniques, to build on your existing sewing skills.

Get creative in this fun workshop where you be offered lots of inspirations to re-vamp your clothes.
