About this experience

  • Oct 27, 10am-1.30pm

Experience a taster of the wonderful world of weaving in this beginners frame loom workshop. You’ll learn basic techniques for frame loom weaving, along with some extra skills including setting up your own cardboard loom, plain weave, and hemstitch. By the end of your time together, you’ll have some basic skills to keep weaving at home, and walk away with a wonderful sample piece woven from Aotearoa wool. This craft entails a beautiful repetitive flow. Enjoy the time to slow down and weave together. For those that enjoy this taster session, we recommend connecting in with your local, The Loom Room.
