Join us at Hastings Contemporary for three knitting workshops exploring the techniques used to make ganseys – traditional fishermen’s jumpers – and knit your own pair of fingerless mitts in the gansey style, learning all the skills needed to make a complete jumper.

We’ll be popping up this Easter weekend at the lovely Nomad shop on Silchester Road, St Leonards. Nomad is a treasure trove of surplus luxury textiles and we’ll be bringing lots of yarn and other knitting related things.
