Selina will also talk about favourite annuals in The Exchange garden, how we use them and tried and tested plant combinations. We will have a look at what’s growing in the greenhouse, and our propagation set-up.

You will also be able to take a pot of sown seed of your choice home with you!

Become a TEX Maker
Feb

Become a TEX Maker

Becoming an Exchange Maker means you can learn craft skills, be part of a making community and help us to produce products that are both useful and beautiful. You will become part of a making team, supported by Exchange staff and other volunteers, and have the opportunity to work collaboratively with professional designers and craftspeople on incredible projects.

Anyone can apply to become a Maker! All you need to do is fill in a form and return it to us so we can understand what you are interested in, and whether what we do works for you. You will be added to a Mailing List so you can hear first about new Workshop projects, and any updates on ongoing activities.

Each workshop operates slightly differently, so if you aren't sure what it is we offer, or whether it is for you, you can attend a free "Become a Maker" session to find out what projects we currently have going on and to talk to a member of the team.

Come along to our Crochet Clinic – a relaxed, friendly space for anyone who wants to learn, refresh, or improve their crochet skills. Whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time or looking to master new techniques, you’ll find gentle guidance, encouragement, and plenty of inspiration.

Experienced crocheters are warmly encouraged to bring along their own projects too. This is the perfect opportunity to finally finish those works in progress, or to get some help with that tricky pattern you just can’t quite work out. Join a group of like-minded yarn crafters to share tips, ask questions, and enjoy a good chat along the way. It’s all about learning at your own pace, building confidence, and enjoying the company of others who love making with yarn as much as you do.

We have a selection of hooks, yarn and patterns available or you are welcome to bring your own.
