Sew In Brighton Covid-19 Classroom Safety Measures in place currently:
Distancing: We aim to ensure a minumim of 1m social distancing between student workstations. The very nature of sewing means you need space and each person will have their own table (measuring at least 1m by 60cm).
If you would like a greater degree of distancing from other students than the default, please speak to your teacher on arrival and we can seat you somewhere with more space or a desk screen. Please don't be worried about asking, we totally understand and you can even email us here beforehand to request this if you prefer.
Currently we book a maximum of 9 students per class, with many classes having just 5 students maximum. Please do not hesitate to contact us here if you would like more info about any aspect of a class or workshop you are wanting to book/booked onto
Face coverings: Face coverings are now optional. If you would prefer a face covering to be worn by your teacher when they are close to you please let them know at the start of the class (teachers will bring one with them)
Movement: To reduce the amount of movement around the class, students should ask the teacher to bring them items needed where possible
Sanitising hands: Hand sanitiser will remain available on all tables and at the door on entry - please continue to use it
Tools: Students are welcome to to bring their own scissors, pins, tape measure, chalk, unpicker, grader ruler etc if they have them and would feel more comfortable using their own equipment. We also have equipment that can be used which will be sanitised after each class.
Booking form checkboxes: All students booking to attend classes will be asked to confirm the following points during the online booking process:

I understand that if I cannot attend for any reason, Covid or otherwise, I can't reschedule/refund unless someone books my space, but I can attend FREE to future similar workshops or Stitch Classes when there's space on day - contact us if you can't attend your booked class
2. I have read & I accept your measures laid out on www.sewinbrighton.co.uk/covidmeasures.html about social distancing, face coverings etc
