What will I be learning?
On this course you will be using the medium of applique and simple stitches like back stitch to create simple and beautiful pieces of work that you can frame, attach to a bag, attach to a cushion cover. You may have a totally different use for your creation and I will help you to achieve your vision. You will use simple templates to help you or you can create a design from your own mind.

What does the course involve?
You will use fabric crayons to start your design and embroidery threads to add colour. You will use an embroidery hoop to sandwich your fabric and wadding in.

How will I know how I am progressing during the course?
At DALS, we use an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) to set and review targets and provide feedback, enabling continual reflection and evaluation throughout the course. Learners will also receive verbal and/or written feedback on marked work. Learners will use their ILP to help track and monitor their own progress towards set goals, to support personal development and achievement.
[There is no formal exam, although there is continual evaluation throughout the course].
Can I have help in the class?
At enrolment, it is important that you tell us if you have a learning difficulty or disability and require support. Learners declaring a support need will be referred for an assessment. If an enhanced support need is confirmed, a Support Package will be offered, to assist your progress in your learning and development, specific to your assessed needs.
You can arrange for your own support worker to come with you.
Progression within DALS
There are a host of creative classes in the main programme and well worth a look in our brochures. You can build your confidence with me in mindful crafts and then progress on to other classes which can be explored in the last sessions.

Health and Wellbeing
The slogan you see on our brochures and leaflets is: meet enjoy learn achieve .
This is because we believe that taking part in adult and community learning can open the door to new friendships, give you something enjoyable and worthwhile to do with your time, enable you to learn something new and give you a sense of achievement. That's got to make you feel good!
