Frame Weaving Workshop
Date: Saturday 3 December 2022
Time: 2 - 4 pm
Address: The Maltings Studio, West End, Bruton, BA10 0BB
Join us for a frame-weaving workshop at the new Maltings Studio.
Over the course of this two-hour session, I will guide you through the process of hand-weaving and teaching you foundational skills, while focusing on up-cycling and using waste materials.
We will provide all the required equipment, including a small frame loom, weaving tools and instruction booklet, as well as a tote bag for attendees to keep after the session. Materials and yarns will be also provided, but we encourage you to bring your own textiles or clothing to recycle or any other materials you would like to weave with.
The ticket includes access to equipment and materials, as well as refreshments. Advance booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
