   I am wondering if possible to have one individual season on smocking – specifically getting started with the dots for pleating. Many thanks

     Hi Rhonda
     Sorry, we don’t usually do individual lessons. However we have a number of smocking “experts”, so if you’d like to call in on a Monday (excluding Public Holidays), 9.30am – midday, or 6.30 – 8.30pm, you might be able to get some pointers. Visitors are always welcome. We also have a very comprehensive library, however borrowing is only available to members. As it happens, we will be having a demonstration of smocking techniques at our Annual Exhibition in September (see our Events and Exhibitions page for details)
     Regards, Gail

     Maxine, I’m told that the smocking dots are really “old school” these days (but I remember them!), however if you can’t find them through any of the local fabric/sewing retailers (or on-line??), maybe you could visit our Annual Exhibition in September (see the Events and Exhibitions tab on the web site), and talk to any of our “smocking expert” members – amongst other things we will be having a demonstration of smocking techniques, old and new.
     Cheers, Gail
