How much hand sewing experience do you need for the course?
You need to have experience of hand sewing basic stitches. You should know how to control a sewing needle.
What is expected at interview?
Interviews are very informal and can be held on a 1to1 basis or in groups with an EKA colleague. You will be asked about your sewing experience, your interest in kilts and to complete a short sewing and pleating skills test.
I need to make 6 kilts on the Full Course. Do I need to pay for the tartan for all those kilts?
No. The kilts made remain the property of GNK and will join the kilt hire stock, unless you make a kilt for yourself or someone you know then you will need to purchase the cloth, but the tartan you use will need to meet the criteria needed for course fulfilment.
Do I need to pay for the tartan I use on the Introductory Course?
Yes. Students will make their kilt for themselves or a loved one so must purchase the cloth.
Is VAT included in the price of the Visitor Workshop?
Yes!
