I am delighted to have the opportunity to bring this Sewing and Fabric crafts class to your After school classroom!
Our Creative Club aims to inspire the children to tap into their own innate creativity. Under guidance they will learn practical sewing and crafting skills in a fun and relaxed environment. The children are encouraged to work at their own pace. Thus building self esteem and confidence in their own abilities.
Each week we will work within a framework with an end goal but no pressure is put on the perfection of a finished piece the emphasis is on exploring & enjoying the process while acquiring skills along the way.
Sewing allows the child to develop their fine motor skills, problem solve, think creatively and build their self esteem. Not to mention acquire a life long very practical skill!
Booking can be made here at the beginning of each term.

A little bit about me, your children's tutor!
My name is Nikki, and I'm a mum to three daughters.
I trained as a fashion designer and worked for many years in the industry across all areas. Manufacturing in Hong Kong, designing in Australia and as a bespoke wedding dress designer in Dublin. Not to mention the unofficial years of immersion and training I received growing up alongside my own Mothers Fashion design and manufacturing business.
I took a bit of a break from commercial working life while my girls were little before returning a few years ago to reestablish myself out in the working world again! I was very lucky to find an amazing space in the heart of Dunlaoghaire which was to be my design studio. As life tends to take unexpected twists and turns I found myself running Kids art and sewing classes from the Space, which very quickly was followed by Adults Classes in Sewing, pattern design, lampshade and jewellery making. I feel extremely lucky to be working at what I love and even luckier to have the chance to pass on these useful and some would say too long forgotten & overlooked practical skills to children and Adults.
