This workshop is a 2-hour course designed to introduce you to frame weaving with dried flowers and leaves. With some basic tapestry weaving techniques you’ll be on your way to creating your own botanical textile masterpiece.
We’ll be using natural yarn (wool or cotton) to create the tapestry base (warp) and will then employ a tabby weave for the flowers and leaves. Frame looms, wool and flowers will be provided and you’ll be able to take your weaving home with you.
Tickets are $25 and cover all materials and refreshments courtesy of our hospitality partner Toi Toi Wines. This workshop is suitable for adults. Koha will be accepted upon entry.
Spaces are limited so be sure to book your spot!
