Experience the wonderful world of weaving in this beginner-friendly frame loom workshop. You’ll learn the fundamentals of frame-loom weaving, including how to set up your own cardboard loom, create a plain weave, and finish your work with hemstitch. By the end of the workshop, you’ll head home with a beautifully woven sample made from Aotearoa wool and the confidence to keep weaving on your own. This craft offers a gentle, repetitive flow - enjoy the time to slow down and weave alongside others.
