Miss M Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi all, Looking for a parchment class for my mum. She lives in Parson Cross but can travel (public transport). Preferably a day time class. She's already done it before and has materials and tools etc.. so it's more of a refresher she needs. She doesn't have a great amount to spend on class costs but any help is much appreciated. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez2 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 There is someone on here called parcher. I think they teach parchment craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parcher Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I am indeed a parchment craft teacher. I have PM'd and then realised there is other stuff I need to mention that might be of interest to other people. I understand that in these days, cost is a thing to consider and one of the things I do is workshops, whereby a group of people get together and I drop the cost down/travel to the people. I also do one off classes that are a bit longer than normal and I do internet support as well (that is a freebie!) Classes like these are usually of benefit to existing parchers who are struggling with a particular aspect. I teach beginners, the curious and advanced parchers, tailoring lessons to suit the individual rather than the group en masse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez2 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I've always wanted to learn parchment craft. I had a few tools for Christmas many years ago but found it too daunting to try and learn from a book. I have been lucky enough to buy a large amount of tools second hand so I might be interested in a class if you do a beginners class. I can only do weekends or evenings though and can't do regular classes. Where are you based or where do you travel to? How much are your classes?

parcher Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I am based in Killamarsh. I do weekends and evenings and because my classes are small, classes on an as and when basis are fine. I charge £7 for a 2 1/2 hour class, parchment and patterns included. Actually, I tailor each lesson for each person to suit that person's progress rather than sticking to a fixed plan on the "learn it or else" lines. As for travelling, that depends upon how many people can get together and how good the buses are! For example, I went to Manchester to teach a group of 20 and Firth Park to teach 10. Anyone fancy a Sheffield meet, en masse? It is hard work learning from a book and the difference of actually having a teacher is quite remarkable (I know - I did it alone, before I got a teacher) Drop me a PM if you want to talk about the possibilities.

Miss M Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks all, we've found a local craft group which has a parchment teacher. It's free and in walking distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez2 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks for my first lesson Jan. Hopefully I will soon pick up the basics of the craft. See you soon. Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parcher Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Glad you enjoyed it. Like I said, if you are unsure of anything give me a ring, or scan/photograph your work and email it to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
