Esther Collins, Textile Courses and Workshops
Esther Collins, Textile Courses and WorkshopsTextile and Mixed Media Artist based in West Sussex, United Kingdom. Workshops and Tutoring.Notes
I am a textile and mixed media artist who combines fabric, paper and stitch. I enjoy dying and printing my own fabric and paper and work using both machine embroidery and hand stitching, building up textile collages and machine embroidered pictures and vessels.
Based in West Sussex, sources of inspiration include the natural environment, walking in the South Downs and local history. With a background in history of art and graphic design, I also enjoy referencing artists and historical design in my work. Sketchbooks, experimentation and making samples are an important part of my design process. I love colour and exploring the many ways it can be used as an expressive part of design.
I have worked as a qualified Adult Education Tutor since 2008 and in 2019 I took the decision to work independently, running workshops from my home studio in West Sussex, where I teach various courses in machine embroidery and textile art. It is my aim to encourage and facilitate others to embrace their creativity and learn new techniques in a supportive, nurturing and inspiring environment. I always teach in small groups and believe that being creative and learning new skills throughout life, is an essential part of personal fulfilment and well being.
As a practising Artist, I also bring my own experiences and artistic development to my classes. I seek to learn and modify new techniques, which I love to teach to others in a spirit of exploration and play. Teaching from my studio, I have easy access to all my samples and allow students to learn in a calm and inspiring environment. I am a member of the Society for Embroidered Work, the Textile Society and regularly sell and exhibit my work.

Sandgate Conservation Society

South East Climate Alliance (SECA) Contact: Sally BarnardNotes
The South East Climate Alliance (SECA) is a coalition of local environmental, community and faith groups from the South East of England uniting for urgent action on climate change. It acts as an informal umbrella group and has been set up to share ideas and coordinate action.
SECA was set up in February 2019 and hold regular meetings. The SECA Steering Group is made up of volunteers from member organisations. Groups affiliated with SECA remain autonomous and will continue to take their own decisions. Some will adopt traditional community organising approaches; others may prefer a non-violent direct action approach, as is being championed by the Extinction Rebellion movement. SECA is not responsible for the actions of its individual member groups, nor is it affiliated to any political party. We have pledged to take a deliberately cross-party approach in our campaigning as we believe that the issue of climate change goes way beyond party politics.

The new group will support SWT in its local communities by communicating, ‘localising’ and implementing the Trust’s strategy, plans and objectives. We expect to provide direct and tangible support ‘on the ground’ to SWT’s key initiatives and projects – including specialist species expertise, physical habitat improvement and other aspects where the group is able to do so.

Stay Up Late
Stay Up LateA charity helping people with learning disabilities stay up late and have some fun.Notes
What is Stay Up Late about?
Going out to see bands, clubbing, or seeing friends is part of everyday life for lots of people. However, if you have a learning disability you may need support to do this. We have found that lots of people with learning disabilities aren’t able to lead full and active social lives because their support workers finish at 10pm. Meaning lots of people with learning disabilities leave events at 9pm.
We believe that people with learning disabilities have the right to stay up late and have some fun.

Trefoil GuildMonthly, 1st Monday – check contact for times Contact: Sue GillingsNotes
The Trefoil Guild
In Trefoil Guild, women and men aged 18+ make new friends, travel, explore, serve their communities and help Guiding (and Scouting) thrive across the UK!
Whether you’re involved in guiding or not, Trefoil Guild is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded people to share your next adventure – whatever that might be!
Trefoil Guild is a branch of Girlguiding and its members agree to support the guiding ethos – including the pledge to help other people. Many members pass on their skills and knowledge to local guiding units, from helping Brownies work towards a badge to preparing older girls for a camping adventure. Many members are unit leaders or helpers in Girlguiding units.
But it’s not all about the girls – there are plenty or opportunities for members to try something new, take on a new personal challenge and escape the daily routine. The best thing is that what you do is up to you!
