About this Event
Are you in a Christmassy mood yet...?
Well, whether you're ready to start celebrating the season, or just need something fun to ease you in, my new weaving workshop might be just the thing...
I'll show you how to use a very simple bit of kit called a backstrap loom (AKA a belt loom) and a warping peg to make your own Christmas bunting! In the morning, we'll look at the essentials of setting up and using this type of loom and practice by making a simple plainweave piece of fabric. After that, you can stay on for the afternoon session, when I'll show you how to use a "supplementary weft" to weave an image ("inlay") into your fabric.
You can also head over to Instagram for a sneak preview of the process:

Whether you choose to stay for the whole day, or just come for the morning, you'll go away with a brand new skill and – I hope – have had lots of fun in the process!
