Led by Tanya Doty.A one-day workshop that will give you a foundation to go and weave your heart out wherever you wander.
We'll explore weaving techniques and look at a couple of different ways to put a structure together using natural fibres from my garden. No specialist tools or materials required, all you need is the know-how and you're away and laughing.
Work in a cooperative nurturing environment with like-minded folk. This one-day workshop is perfect for beginners or those with some experience. Everyone will be encouraged to explore with materials and techniques, and celebrate the individuality of our creations, acknowledging the ongoing learning that comes with creating.
