New dates for Winter + Spring 2025!

We have just scheduled new workshops for this Winter and Spring.

The class will have a maximum of 6 students. You will be able to shop in the shop as well if you would like. It should be really lovely!

All of these classes with Julie take place on Sundays from 11am-5pm.

WHEN BOOKING A CLASS ONLINE, OTHER THAN BY CALLING THE SHOP, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN THE "NOTES" INFORMATION. MANY THANKS.

11am-5pm, with a break for lunch

In this all-day workshop, you will be given a papier-mache doll that Julie has handmade. You will spend the day embellishing the doll with sewing and knitting using Julie's patterns (we're afraid you cannot take the patterns away!)
We have a great range of supplies on hand for you to use such as yarns and fabrics, but feel free to bring any special fabrics, yarns, buttons, or any other bits that you might like to use on the day.
At the end of the day you get to take home your own newly-dressed doll!

There is a 45-minute break for lunch (not supplied by Loop, but there are lots of places very nearby on Camden Passage and Upper Street) or you are welcome to bring your lunch.
Tea, coffee, and cakes will be supplied.

You must know a little basic knitting for this workshop.
Please bring your own sewing kit with you - scissors, needles, pins, etc.

* Please email the shop or give us a ring if you would like to be added to a waiting list when classes sell out. We will let you know if spaces become available. Please also note that our waiting lists do not roll over to the next scheduled classes. You will need to let us know for each class you are interested in.

Cancellation policy
A refund of payment for the class will be given for cancellations only if the spot can be filled by another student, minus a 10% admin fee. Please be considerate.
We reserve the right to cancel a class in unusual circumstances. We try to avoid this wherever possible, but sometimes it cannot be avoided. In this situation, of course, a full refund will be given.

We're sorry, but Loop cannot be financially responsible for extreme weather conditions or any other situations that are out of its' control.
If we need to cancel the class due to any unforeseen lockdown measures in London we will of course offer you a full refund or shop credit (whatever your preference is).

We also sell Julie's wonderful pieces here at Loop.
