About this Event
These workshops are for two people to attend together. This could be yourself and a friend or an adult and young person (13+). You will work together to decide on a small project that you would both like to make together throughout the day, for example, weaving a cushion cover.
You'll be sharing a loom throughout the workshop and working collaboratively. Whilst one person is weaving the other will be choosing colours and winding pirns ready for the weaver. You will swap over throughout the session so you can both have time on the loom.
Agnis will guide you through the day, giving demonstrations as well as offering 1 to 1 support.
To Note
As its half term, this workshop may be of interest to those who are undertaking their GCSE or A levels in Art/Design/Textiles or those who simply have a passion for making and crafting.
Adults are expected to join in the workshop and work together on the project with their teenager.

Please note when booking you only need to book one place for the pair of you.
