Join the creative adventure at the European Patchwork Meeting!
The European Patchwork Meeting classes are your meeting point for learning and mastering the art of patchwork. With workshops led by renowned international teachers and artists, we offer an educational experience where know-how and expert advice are at the heart of learning.
Learn from expert quilters: a world of techniques and creativity to explore
From Tuesday to Saturday, classes cover essential skills such as design, piecing, machine and hand quilting and embroidery, suitable for all levels, from novice to experienced quilter. Each workshop is an opportunity to create and explore under the guidance of specialists, in a studious and friendly environment.
Classes are offered in small groups of no more than 20 students, ensuring a friendly atmosphere and personalized attention. If you’d like to discover a technique using a machine, the rooms are equipped to support your creative journey: domestic sewing machines are provided by BERNINA and long arm (quilting machines) by Handiquilter: two leading brands in the sector.
Flexible program: from half-day to 2 days
Our sessions, ranging from a half-day to two days, are designed to adapt to your pace while stimulating your creativity. It’s a unique opportunity to exchange and share with other enthusiasts at this annual event.
