April session - guest artist Heather
Join our resident Viking Heather for a relaxed and friendly session to get started with the basics of the ancient textile craft of nalbinding.
In this beginners workshop, Heather will talk you through the basics of this versatile and addictive craft. They will guide you through the beginners techniques and share plenty of top tips to get you started on your nalbinding journey.
Used to make items like socks, hats, and mittens, this technique uses a single needle and short lengths of yarn to create a fabric of interlocking loops.
All equipment and materials are provided.
You can join in with the artist-led activity or bring your own crafty projects to work on.
Beginners warmly welcomed.
Cost: £4 (£3 for kids)
Includes
- Wool & Equipment
- Hot and cold drinks
- Snacks

This session is being funded by Know Your Neighbourhood programme.
This session is in our upstairs workshop space. We're currently having a lift installed, but it is yet to be completed.
There is currently no level access. It’s a single flight of 14 steps then you go around the corner and there are two small steps. Once you’re upstairs there’s a loo. You shouldn’t need to come downstairs for anything until the end of the event.
If you can’t manage the stairs but really want to attend, please let us know by the 24th of the month before by emailing (using the contact organiser button/link) or sending us an SMS text/WhatsApp message on 07957 602790. and we will try to move the activity downstairs.
If you have additional access needs (e.g. large print, BSL interpreter, level access) please let us know.
