Tapestry Weaving
From: £60.00
A freestyle, relaxing and repetitive textile craft for absolute beginners to try their hand at.
What will I learn?
In this group workshop you will learn anatomy of the tapestry loom and about essential weaving equipment.
You will dress the loom with cotton warp so it is set for weaving and learn about the different fibres available for you to use to make a really amazing piece of art for your wall.
You will learn tabby weave, (plain weave), the easiest way to make tassels, (rya knots) and a few more simple stitches like sumac (the pretty plait) to help give your woven art attitude and texture.
How many yarns?
There is a rainbow of yarn of all different fibres and weights for you to experiment with.
Our yarn wall holds over 300 yarns, then there is roving and scraps and goodness knows what else you can find in the studio to play around with.
