Loom Hire with Technician

You'll be assigned your own personal loom for the 2 days and you are welcome to weave for as long or as little as you like between 10:00- 16:00 each day.

Looms are set up with a neutral grey warp meaning you can begin weaving straight away. Please let us know if you would like the loom without a warp so that you can add your own.

Please note - an additional £10.00 per day is required to cover the cost of materials.

No further bespoke warps can be requested due to the Christmas break.

There is no teaching included within these 2 days. Participants are expected to work independently. Agnis will be available on Friday and Saturday for a couple of hours to help answer any questions should they arise. The Gallery will not be open on either day.

Things to bring

Yourselves, ideas , a packed lunch (there are also places to buy lunch in the mill and on Farsley Town Street.)

We will provide

All materials and equipment.
