Workshop Details

What will this workshop cover?

This fantastic course is a great way to learning to weave your very own tapestry!  You will learn all the skills you need to create a small tapestry weaving.

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. In the third session, we will practice a some weaving patterns and learn how to finish our tapestries, preparing them for display.

Your tutor Olga will take you through all of the processes in a step by step approach, offering support and time for questions.
