Textile classes for beginners
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to sew, knit or weave, these beginner-friendly Sydney workshops are the perfect place to start. No experience? No worries! You’ll be guided step-by-step by friendly textile artists, learning traditional techniques like macramé, embroidery, basket weaving and more.

Whether you're picking up a sewing machine or trying your hand at knitting for the first time, these workshops are all about slowing down, learning something new and expressing yourself through handmade pieces.
Textile arts are some of the oldest and most meaningful forms of creative expression. For thousands of years, people have been sewing, spinning yarn, knitting, embroidering and weaving. From colourful fibre arts in Africa and the Americas to intricate tapestries across Europe and Asia, these traditional crafts were used to make clothes and baskets, tell stories and connect with culture. Today, these creative traditions are being rediscovered, and there’s no better time to give them a go.

In each session, you’ll be introduced to practical techniques in a relaxed, supportive environment. Your expert teacher will demonstrate step-by-step methods, helping you feel confident using tools like sewing machines, looms or embroidery hoops. Depending on the workshop, you might:
- Use a sewing machine to create a simple garment

- Try natural dyeing or screen printing

And with so many welcoming classes across Sydney, it’s easier than ever to try. You don’t need any experience, just a curious mindset and a willingness to give it a go. Who knows? Your next favourite hobby might just start with a single stitch.
