Weaving is perfect for those looking to unwind with a meditative hobby or explore a new form of artistic expression. These workshops will guide you through the process of creating your own small woven tapestry.
In the first session, we will learn how to warp a wooden frame loom, prepare the foundations for your tapestry, select colours, textures and materials. The second session will focus on weaving techniques and simple shapes.
