Weave Together - Easter Workshop

Ever wondered what it would be like to weave on a loom? Join Agnis in the Weaving Shed during the Easter break and have a go at weaving on the gorgeous dobby looms at Sunny Bank Mills.

You will be in a small group, working in pairs, giving plenty of opportunity to ask questions and receive 1 to 1 support throughout the workshop. You will be using stick shuttles during this workshop and will be able to take your own small piece of woven material away with you at the end of the session.

One ticket allows two participants that will weave together on one loom. Ideal for teenagers studying art and textiles, woven samples can be included in portfolios and development.

All materials and equipment will be provided. Spaces are very limited, so booking is essential.

Suitable for ages 14+. Under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
