Digital Knitting Machine
Please be aware that the knitting machine will be in use for inductions on Thursdays and Fridays 10:00-13:00.
We have a Silver Reed SK840 Knitting Machine which can be programmed to create custom knitted pieces.
Knitting Machine Inductions are bookable on ORBĀ here. Students must complete an induction (or demonstrate existing ability to use a knit machine) in order to use this machine. Inductions last 3 hours, and give a full overview of basic technique. Please only book an induction if you are definitely want to use the machine, you are available to attend for the entire time, and you can commit to practicing using the machine for at least 3 hours in the week following.
Advanced Knitting Workshops are bookable here for people who have already completed the basic induction. There are three different ones that cover:
- DesignaKnit
- Short Rowing
- Intarsia
If you have any questions, please message Agnes or Rosie!
