What You’ll Learn

In this friendly, practical session, I’ll share:

  •  The 3 main types of cork fabric – Smooth, Rustic & Agglomerate.

  • How each type is made and why that matters for sewing.

  • Which corks work best for bag making (and how to use rustic/agglomerate so they don’t crack).

  • Examples of “bad cork” so you know what to avoid when buying.

  •  A close-up look at real cork bark straight from the tree – so you can see how it transforms into fabric.

  • We’ll wrap up with a Q&A so you can get your cork questions answered directly.

  • Bonus for attendees: You’ll also receive an exclusive 5% discount on cork fabrics (excludes panels) – the perfect excuse to try out your new cork knowledge straight away
