My name is Jolanda Rocklin, I have always been fascinated & curious to explore the possibilities of yarn, fabric and thread in Art and in day to day life. I never consciously started out to create “The little school of Needle Craft” it grew organically from evenings with friends chatting and crafting around my kitchen table and today it has grown into a Creative Studio with visiting local & international Artist and a meeting place for like minded crafters, friends and makers. The Studio has become a place to connect, to explore and to have fun pushing your creative boundaries and restrictions ( if you have any, daredevilry is positively encouraged here ) . Our Creative motto is “ if not now, when”!! We all have to start somewhere!
So if you’re ready to start creating my team and I invite you to come and join our little community, we are here for you not just to teach our crafts and share our expertise but to empower you to achieve your creative ambitions & potential. We look forward to making with you!
REUSE, RECYCLE & REPURPOSE
Be on the frontline of making a change, at The little school of needle craft we promote eco-conscious sustainable fashion. We aim to teach you how to Reuse, recycle and repurpose your clothing into your own unique personal style instead of adding to the 11 million tons of textile waste of fast fashion that is polluting the planet.
