Crafty Birds was set up by Anneka, a fully qualified fashion and textiles teacher. We have four tutors here at Crafty Birds; Anneka, Denyse, Jessica, and Jane. Crafty Birds proudly only hires tutors with both a teaching qualification and university degree within Fashion, Textiles, Dressmaking, and Tailoring.

We all work as Fashion and Textiles teachers at Redborne Upper School during the day, happily opening the doors of our classrooms to others who want to learn to sew.

As practising teachers we are knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced in teaching children, teenagers, and young adults, capable of applying differentiated teaching techniques to ensure everyone learns and makes progress at a Crafty Birds sewing course. All tutors have a full DBS clearance. For more information, and contact details, click here.
