Action Packs

Action packs are available for WI members to hire and work together in a group, following step-by-step guidelines, to learn a new skill. Aimed at beginners, the packs include detailed instructions and illustrations to enable you to hold the workshop without a tutor.Making gift boxes
Current packs available are:

  • Fabric Boxes
  • Fabric Frames
  • Canvaswork
  • Braids and Tassels
  • Christmas
  • Aromatherapy (under review, currently unavailable)
  • Stencilling
  • Foundation Piecing for Patchwork
  • Keepsake Books

  • Paper Beads

A co-ordinator, who can be a member of the group, organises any materials or equipment required and arranges a suitable venue. The co-ordinator receives written guidance on making these arrangements.

Action Packs are usually hired for one week. You can organise as many workshops as you wish during this week. Please note that some packs may take more time to complete than others.  Packs cost £15.00 (including return p&p) to hire.

Once you have developed new skills through an Action Pack, you may wish to learn more. We offer a wide range of skill based courses at all levels from beginners to those with more experience. These include Open College Network and City and Guilds courses, which take place Denman College or in federations.
