MAKE A GORGEOUS WALL HANGING IN ONE WEEKEND!

Some of the most beautiful art can be made with natural fibres. In this workshop you’ll learn how to transform humble bullrushes and other garden plants into a stunning wall hanging using the ancient art of two-strand twining.

You'll join a small group of like-minded people for a fun weekend of creative self-expression, getting confident with the basics of basket-weaving and learning some easy variations to create beautiful and striking patterns. You'll leave with a wonderful wall hanging you've made from scratch!

What you'll learn:

How to identify suitable plant fibres for weaving
How to work with natural fibres
The tools you’ll need
How to start your wall hanging
Two-strand twining stitch
Patterning and shaping your wall hanging
Finishing off your stunning piece

This workshop is suitable for beginners and intermediate weavers. Our focus is on play, not perfection! And if you’ve twined before, you'll extend your skills with these new shapes and patterns.

All materials for the day are provided, including natural fibres that have been harvested, foraged and prepared for you. Being a small class there’ll be time for personal tuition.

This will be a welcoming and relaxing space for anyone who wants to slow down, connect with nature and give weaving a go - or extend on what they already know!

BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL as there are limited spaces available.
