This tapestry weaving experience day is chance to develop your weaving skills at the UK’s longest running tapestry studio.
Explore the versatility and creative potential of knots and knotting to create surface and texture and to outline shapes in your tapestry.
For beginners and developing weavers the workshop will use traditional materials of a cotton warp and wool weft and will cover some basic skills involved in creating a woven tapestry.
Experimenting with a range of techniques, you will receive expert tuition from professional weaver Fiona Hutchison, and at the end of the day you are invited to sit back and admire your tapestry with a glass of fizz!
The price includes tapestry yarn and use of equipment during the workshop. If participants would like to practice and develop their new weaving skills at home, tapestry frames, yarns, and bobbins are available at Dovecot Shop where attendees will receive a 10% discount on the day of their workshop.
