A mindful day of making in Salisbury’s creative heart.
Join Ellie Fisher from Elka Textiles for a relaxed off-loom weaving workshop in the inspiring gallery space at Fisherton Mill, Salisbury.
Off-loom weaving is an intuitive and playful way to explore texture and form — no equipment required. In this workshop, nature provides your loom: branches, stones, or other found objects become the base for your weaving. It’s creative, grounding and wonderfully portable — perfect for mindful making at home or outdoors.
Over six hours of guided tuition, Ellie (a weaver with over 20 years’ experience) will show you how to transform natural and found materials into beautiful woven pieces. You’ll learn how to choose fibres, prepare your “loom”, and use simple techniques to weave on branches, rocks or other natural forms.
All materials are provided, and you’ll receive clear handouts to take home, along with tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the day. You’ll also receive a 20% discount on lunch in the Fisherton Mill Gallery Café.
Spaces are limited to keep the group small and hands-on, so early booking is recommended.
Co-hosted with Fisherton Mill — Salisbury’s vibrant hub for art, craft and creativity.
