Find Your Perfect Workshop

At the heart of the MAQ Educational Retreat is an exciting programme of hands-on workshops led by talented and experienced instructors.

Each year, the MAQ Board carefully selects a diverse range of classes, giving quilters the opportunity to develop existing skills, explore new techniques and try something completely different.

From traditional quilting methods to contemporary techniques, handwork, appliqué, embroidery, free-motion quilting and much more, there's always something new to discover.

  • 6 HOURS

    Dedicated Creative Time

    Most MAQ classes are six hours long, giving you plenty of time to learn, practise and create.

  • 3 CLASSES

    Build Your Retreat

    Participants can choose three classes over the course of the event.

  • MULTI-DAY

    Go Deeper

    Some workshops run over multiple days. Multi-day classes must be booked for the complete class rather than individual days.

  • MATERIALS & KITS

    Some instructors charge additional fees for specialist materials, patterns or kits. Any additional costs are clearly shown within the workshop details.
