Textile arts are one of the oldest art mediums in history. In ancient societies all over the world, our ancestors were sewing, knitting, yarn spinning, embroidering, weaving, and basket making for a variety of different reasons. This is one of those types of art that started out with a practical function - think clothing and warmth - and then ended up being an important artistic and expressive medium. Entire histories and legends from Europe and Asia can be found on historical tapestries. Ancient societies in the Americas and Africa perfected the art of basket weaving and colourful woven fabrics. And textile art on animal skins and bark was an important and beautiful practice created by Indigenous Australians.
Today, we can simply buy machine knitted sweaters and printed wall art. There are even premade macrame and factory dyed fabrics to buy. But for crafters and artists, there’s something special about learning traditional fibre art techniques. Pick up a pair of needles, a loom, or a sewing machine and get back to the fibre art basics. Learn from the best textile teachers in Sydney and be amazed at the textile art you can make yourself. Once you learn how to create fabric art, you won’t want to go back to the mass-produced items.
As you can see, textile art is an umbrella term for many different forms of fibre art. If you want to learn how to do macrame, there are textile art classes for that. If embroidery piques your interest, there are embroidery classes to try. There are sewing lessons for people who want to learn how to sew, weaving classes for people who want to learn how to weave, and the list just keeps going. There are even sewing classes for kids and weaving for kids workshops to get the next generation involved.
Textile art classes are wonderful things to do in Sydney at any time. If you’re looking for things to do in Sydney this weekend, there’s likely a fun textile art class to try. Or, if you’re looking for fun indoor activities Sydney kids will love, you can book a textile art class for the upcoming Sydney school holidays. Textile classes are also a must do Sydney events for groups of friends, hens parties, and corporate wellness programs.
In a typical textile class, your knowledgeable instructor will break down the practice into easy-to-follow steps. While you can continue to develop your textile art skills over a lifetime, you’ll need to master the basics first. In your supportive and welcoming textile art class, you’ll be able to take your time and ask questions with your professional instructor right there by your side. And whatever you don’t finish in the class, you’ll easily be able to finish it up at home. Even if you do finish your project in class, you’ll be tempted to start a brand new fabric art project when the workshop is over.
Who knew that creating practical and beautiful pieces of fabric art by hand could be so beneficial? But it’s true. Research has shown that textile art like knitting and weaving, can lower stress and help boost brain cognition and memory retention. You’ll notice yourself reaching for your textile art projects when you need a rest from a busy day or you’re looking for a chance to unwind and relax. No matter what kind of textile art medium you choose, you’ll be able to feel the immediate positive effects as you let go of stress and focus on your new favourite hobby.
Custom classes
Want to learn or experience something specific? You can easily contact our teachers, arrange a custom workshop at your preferred time, and suit your skill level.

We've got a range of teachers who cater specifically to larger events, and we can customise classes to meet your needs. Get in touch today and we'll put something together for you.
