About this Event
🌿 Threads of the Earth: Botanical Weaving on Small Looms
Weaving nature, texture and colour into miniature artworks
Discover the gentle art of weaving with natural materials in this calming, hands‑on workshop at ACAVA Studios, Stoke‑on‑Trent.
Using small looms and simple weaving frames, you’ll combine threads, yarns and dried flowers to create a tactile woven piece inspired by the colours and textures of the earth.
You can choose to create either a small woven artwork or a botanical‑inspired bracelet — a beautiful way to wear nature on your wrist.
This workshop celebrates slow, sustainable creativity — working with reclaimed threads, natural fibres and botanical elements to craft a miniature artwork that feels both organic and expressive. Perfect for beginners and experienced makers, it’s a gentle exploration of texture, rhythm and mindful making.
