TeX Textiles with a difference; part of the Cultivate Cornwall social enterprise – has taken a shop lease in Bodmin where it will run free sewing and textile workshops.

It will launch this Saturday with free bags for all who attend to find out about the workshops on offer. The project intends to bring people together to share skills in sewing and textile craft.

’We have a team of people ready to start sharing their skills from fashion designers to industry seamstresses whose talent up until now has largely gone unrecognised,’ said Harry Deacon, one of the project founders.

The shop is on Fore Street at the front of Market House arcade.
