A new creative space close to Fulham Broadway is aiming to cate for anyone interested in working with textiles.
Fulham Textile Studio was founded by local artist Marion Corbett whose years of experience with textiles have included everything from creating bespoke textile design projects to teaching.
"Opening Fulham Textile Studio felt like the perfect way to bring my creative experiences together and to offer the community a space where they can learn, create, and enjoy the craft," said Marion, who has lived in Fulham for 15 years.
The studio's team offers a wide range of workshops for all skill levels, from introductory sessions to specialised courses, including group and corporate events.
"We're really excited about our corporate events," Marion explained.
"They're perfect for team building, giving colleagues a chance to work together creatively and to leave with something tangible that they've made. It's a refreshing alternative to the usual office outings."
Local youngsters can also get involved. On Monday and Tuesday mornings the studio hosts classes specifically for homeschoolers.
The studio promotes accessibility alongside creativity, and classes are all influenced by the same slogans, aimed to encourage everyone to get stuck in.
The studio also has machinery available to hire and sells yarns, weaving materials, knitting and tufting tools and more.
"I felt there was a real need for a creative hub in Fulham," said Marion, explaining that much London's textile scene is based in east London.
"The neighbourhood deserved a space where people could not only buy high-quality materials but also learn, experiment, and connect with others who share a love for creativity. We're more than just a teaching space."
