We are committed to encouraging people to take more control of their lives by creating chances for alternative avenues into employment. Through creative activity, we aim to enhance the quality of life for local people through empowerment, building confidence, friendships and other life skills as well as having fun. As a social enterprise working within music in Leeds, we are coming from a different perspective from much of the rest of the music industry. Our aims are social in terms of benefiting people rather than to concentrate on making a profit. This does not stop the organisation from making a surplus or profit although this is ploughed back in to the organisation rather than going, as in a PLC, or even a co-op, back to its shareholders, members or workers.
Cloth Cat Studios provides free educational opportunities for people in the Hyde Park & Woodhouse Ward of Leeds.
We also aim to provide other resources and services through music which we are currently developing. We encourage people to learn new skills through these courses in music and want to find new inventive ways of providing avenues into employment through music and its associated creative arts. We are constantly wanting to find out what the needs of the music community are in this neck of the woods, so if you are a musician or in a band in Leeds, please fill in a copy of our on-line survey and let us know.

COURSE INFO
One of Cloth Cat's main activities is training which we run in partnership with the WEA. We offer a range of courses and support for local musicians and members of the inner city Leeds community. Our courses are free and open to anyone who wishes to enroll although we do target those who are living on low incomes and benefits in the area. All we ask is the commitment to see the course through and to produce your own music. Soon the tunes created on our courses will be aired at upcoming events in Leeds.
We have offered courses in electronic music, especially software and producing, as well as other music related training. We operate on a needs basis, so if there is a course you would specifically like to see us run, then please get in touch.
We run a membership scheme which costs £1.00 and which will give you access to all our free courses, enable you to have more say in what Cloth Cat does, receive more support and get reductions on any events which we do happen to charge for.
The courses are in high demand, so book your place early, but please make sure you can commit to completing the course as places are at a premium!

COURSES: Starting SEPTEMBER 2008. We'd like to run as much of our programme as possible, but need to guage demand for each course beforehand. If you could get in touch as soon as possible to let us know if you are interested. Please bear in mind your own availability and other commitments as we require that students are able to fully commit to our courses
Unless otherwise stated all courses are weekly for 2hrs over 10 weeks and are FREE, ring Mike or Nisha on 0113 2442773 or e-mail [email protected] for full details
