Wine & Weave

This wine & weave session is designed for everybody that already has some experience in shaft-weaving and is looking for more practice. You will watch your cloth grow row by row while drinking a glass of wine with fellow weavers and enjoying the rhythmic pace of weaving. These sessions are all about freestyle weaving and doing whatever feels best for you. Without the pressure to make a product or following a strict lesson plan, Emma will be on hand to help you with any problems and (naturally) to join in the weaving fun!

Please note this is a self-guided weaving session and not an educational workshop. All participants should already have experience weaving on an 8-shaft loom. If you are new to weaving, then check out the workshop to get started!

• Your own loom for the duration of the workshop, pre-threaded and ready to weave
• All yarns and weaving materials
• Access to a catalogue of weave structures
• Wine! (Non-alcoholic options also available)

• Practicing and developing your skills as a shaft-weaver
• New techniques and structures, depending on your project

• Small samples that can be cut off the loom and taken home
