What to expect?


This event has a maximum of 10 participants, and is suitable for people 12 years and over.

We will use raffia, and weave in a coil style. This workshop utilies the 'random over wrapping' stitch shown in the above photo. (Check my other events for other stitch styles!)

No prior experience is necessary and all materials are provided.

Y ou can expect to weave a small basket or coaster in this session, and you will take home the skills needed to complete larger projects.


This is a very gentle experience; you can expect to travel no further than 1km. The route is manageable for all fitness levels, as well as assisted wheelchair users.

If you have any accessibility or mobility concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
