Maker's bio

The Dart is a community venue for all ages who wish to engage with arts, crafts and music. Our centre-run courses are led by professional practitioners or artists in hour long, half or full day workshops.  We encourage local artists to exhibit in our foyer, sell work or perform at open mic nights. The Dart boasts specialist rooms for dance, drama, art and music which are available for hire throughout the evenings and weekends.

Sarah Stacey reviewed: Block Printing onto Fabric with Rachel Reynolds - Tote Bag Design

"Good half day course and enough to determine if you want to pursue. Tote bag was actually rather pretty if not quite as intended!"

Anna reviewed: Block Printing onto Fabric with Rachel Reynolds - Tote Bag Design

"Rachel is an excellent teacher giving clear instructions and demonstrations. She was encouraging and supportive and well prepared with everything we needed to complete our work. I loved working with the lino to produce a printing block and it was lovely to take home a finished project I can use. I highly recommend this workshop and look forward to attending further courses with Rachel in the future. "
