You will be shown how to master those tricky corners and joins on the sewing machine. You will then have the opportunity to put your new skills into practice and make a further cushion. Alternatively there is the option to try your hand at making a bolster cushion during the afternoon.

There are kitchen facilities available for your use at lunchtime, a comfy dining area on site and a streamside picnic area and grassed courtyard for eating should the weather allow.
