A number of my students have expressed an interest in a fast-paced sewing course.
That is why I have designed a series of intensive Sewing Bootcamps - new hands-on courses which will help budding sewers master all of the basic skills and techniques they will need to tackle dressmaking and soft furnishing projects.

These courses will obviously cover more than I am able to cover in a 3 hour Workshop and will allow me to do many things which I don’t have time to deal with in the shorter time-frame.

Bootcamp 1 will run over 4 consecutive weekdays (mornings  9.30 – 12.30) or over two Saturdays (mornings 10am – 1pm and afternoons 1.30pm – 4.30pm)

I will teach students about:
- The different functions of a sewing machine
- Different fabrics and their uses
- Pattern markings
- The importance of precision
You learn and develop skills such as:
- Machine Sewing
- Hand sewing
- Inserting a zip
- Cutting out fabric using a pattern

And everyone will leave the course with a bag and cushion!

The starting dates of Sewing Bootcamp 1 are: 
- 28th May (weekdays)
- 8th June (weekends))
- 10th June (weekdays)

Information about Bootcamp 2 and Bootcamp 3, which will cover more
advanced skills, to follow!

To find out about the next workshop please email:  katragaddamanju@gmail.com

Healing with Art’s workshop is designed with passion to explore the creative side of your personality. We are all so busy with our life and sometimes our inner passions and small cheerful hobbies disappear in the hussle bussle. The motivation behind this workshop is to get you connected back with those inner passions.

Not only that have you ever wanted to paint but never picked up a Brush, now this is an opportunity to get that ticked off as well. Offering all of you out there to discover new skills learn techniques, master the Mindfulness and relaxing whilst further developing their own personal style.

Doing all those while healing yourself and relaxing into the new beginning and new year resolutions.

Creativity isn’t just about art. It’s about the journey. And a journey into your innerself.

Following is the format for the day

Basically the Day will start with Guided mediation to relax yourselves and I will do Reiki(Healing Energy) on everyone and then Art Materials will be provided to start painting - it doesn’t matter what we do as each painting and Art does have a meaning that the person will get and makes them happy. Healing with Art brings along Colour therapy where in a person is drawn to Red means its balancing the Root chakra so we will cover more details on this and similarly for other colours. And you will also have an opportunity to experience mediation in between complimented by Angel card reading.

So it’s all about letting the inner child talk to us through the colors and brushes for the day and make yourselves happy kicking of the new year with a new beginning full of positive energy.

I would be more than happy to share further info or answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to email or ring me.

 Testimonial from February Workshop :

Moira: I took part in Manjulas healing throught art workshop back in february. I wasnt really sure what to expect as i hadnt painted in over 12years & was anxious not to be able 2 draw & paint anymore. Well, i have been talking about this worshop to all my friends . I find brilliant the combo of the different meditations done during d day, d personal mini reiki session given to each person & the angel cards touch.it really worked for me- d people i spent d day with, different ages & backgrounds, d laughters & athmosphere… I got somehow unblocked - & have been paiting ever since. I keep on referring Manjula to my friends cause i really know they will benefit from her workshop - just as much as i did. She was brilliant & really helped me a lot.
