Tapestry Weaving Taster Class
This class is for anyone who would like to pick up a bobbin and try tapestry weaving. It’s the perfect session if you have always wanted to have a go - no experience necessary.
Learn how to weave simple geometric shapes, prepare threads and change colours. At the end of the class you can take home your own small tapestry!
This will be a small group of adult beginners, which should be lots of fun as we experiment with shapes and techniques.
Beginners & Improvers Class
Immerse yourself in a day of tapestry weaving.
This class is for complete beginners, those who would like to learn more after a taster class, as well as a refresher for those returning to weaving.
Start by setting up a tapestry frame, get to grips with plain weave, try geometric shapes, practice blending and learn tips and tricks to improve your weaving.
This will be a small group of adult beginners and improvers.
One to One
Whether you’re a beginner wanting to try out something new, or an intermediate weaver looking to improve your technique or solve weaving issues, a ‘one-to-one’ session would be for you. Or ‘one-to-two’ for you and a friend!
These sessions could include setting up a frame, weaving shapes and colour blending to hatching, cartoons, 3D techniques or general problem solving, depending on experience.
The content would be tailor-made for you.
