The studio, where you will spend most of your time, is on the mezzanine floor situated above the shop in Rye. With the shop just downstairs you will have easy access to our complete selection of cloth and notions. Your studio set up will include a Bernina sewing machine and the shared used of two overlockers alongside an array of Merchant & Mills tools.

Each student has ample space in which to cut out and work in, with plentiful natural light. Lunch and snacks will be provided for you in an adjoining kitchen and dining space to keep you sustained for you days of creativity.

The Grove where you will be staying is located in the centre of Rye, a stone's throw from the Merchant and Mill’s shop. A home to be enjoyed and shared by you all in the same way as our studio. The house is both spacious and cosy, with 2 living rooms, a spacious kitchen, and a stunning conservatory for dinning, chatting, or sewing! There are 6 beds (one room is a shared twin room) and 4 bathrooms. You can read more about the house and see the individual rooms and bathrooms here.
