About your instructor: Rachael Bell is a BA Sculpture Graduate of Edinburgh College of Art Class of 2021. Bell works with Sculpture, Ceramics, Painting, Textiles and Photography. Bell’s practice is not restricted in materials, shifting from sculpture to punch needle art, painting and ceramics etc. Rachel loves teaching the art of punch needle, believing it is a valued craft that should be shared especially in younger generations.

Required: yourself - and your enthusiasm. Rachael suggests that you might want to think about what sort of designs you fancy creating- if you struggle to make that sort of decision under pressure! Otherwise, she will definitely give you some ideas!

What we provide: all materials, including needle set to take away, refreshments (soft drinks, tea, coffee), a fun and supportive environment for learning!
Please ensure that you read and understand our event terms and conditions before booking. Note that the workshop is held in our first floor gallery, and access is by a set of steps only. We regret that this is not wheelchair accessible at present.
