Join Jo, Karen and Lynne for a year, a term or a month of Workshops, Masterclasses and Live Zoom Surgeries. Not only will we provide creative and inspirational classes but you will also be part of a global community learning along with us.
Join The AcademyCome and learn with us
We are Jo, Karen and Lynne, three British designers, teachers and authors with many years' experience in quilting and sewing. Over the last few years we have also amassed a huge amount of experience in online teaching and video tutorials. Through our online Academy we can now take this shared wisdom to the next level by offering a whole year of online tuition.

Our 2024 retreats are all sold out but come and join us for one of our 2025 retreats in Yorkshire, England. Tickets go on sale at 2pm BST on Friday 26th July 2024. Heads up our retreats for 2024 sold out in half an hour so, if you want to join us, make a note of the sale time in your diary!

Come and join us for the second term of Academy 2024 / 2025 which is all about piecing stars and includes meeting with our first friend of the year, Daisy Aschehoug of Warm Folk as well as the three monthly projects.
Supernova
£40
In this workshop Jo shares all the secrets behind her freehand foundation piecing techniques to create not one but three stunning quilts! For the star themed term Jo has taken inspiration from an image of a supernova.
Lifetime Access now available for all classes!
The Academy has been such a huge success that we have decided to extend the access for all our classes! These now come with Lifetime access.
Lifetime means the lifetime of the Academy (which obviously we hope continues for years and years to come!) so you can now purchase an online class without worrying about running out of time to complete your project!
So much more than an online class
The Academy year started on 1 March 2023 and is structured into three terms centred around the themes of Choosing and Using Your Stash and Scraps, Confidence and Play with Colour, Sustainability - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
The Annual and Term Passes include a community space where we can share our work and offer enthusiasm and feedback to our fellow crafters, all safely away from social media. You can also use this platform to communicate with your tutors.
Inspiration, Education and Friendship
We aim to encourage creativity and play in all our students. Our hobbies should be fun!
You will find each of us resourceful and generous teachers with years of experience to draw on. If we know how to do something then we’ll be sharing this with our Academy students! Through our pre-recorded videos and live surgeries we want our students to feel as if they are shadowing us in our sewing rooms and sharing all our trade secrets.
