Social Weaving Sessions
Description
In a world that feels like it's unravelling, it can be heartening to transform disparate threads into a cohesive form. More than ever, we need to do tactile, tangible things. Intentional actions, with real people, in real time.
Get together with other self-confessed "basket cases" to enjoy weaving in a relaxed, social space and connect through craft. Bring your own project to work on.
There's no pressure to achieve here, just opportunity to set aside time for making or enjoy a cuppa and a chat.
This is not a formal workshop, but you'll have access to a skilled facilitator for some extra support if you need a hand and some examples to inspire you! I charge a small fee for my time (organising, communicating, and assisting on the day).
If you're after more in-depth tuition consider coming along to a skills-based workshop, hosting a gathering in the comfort of your own home, or you can book a 1:1 session to have my undivided attention.
