WEAVING TASTER DAY
​
10am to 1pm - £60
Spend a morning weaving your own wool tweed fabric with a variety of twill patterns for a perfect introduction to an absorbing and limitless craft.
​
Your loom for the day will be set up ready for you to begin experimenting with colour and pattern, the fabric will be yours to take away and can be used as a scarf, wall-hanging or sewn into something of your choice.
No experience is needed and the workshop is suitable for all age groups.
All equipment and materials will be provided, along with refreshments.

WEAVE A TARTAN SCARF
​
10am to 4pm - £120
This new one day workshop allows the student to weave their own tartan scarf.
The loom will be prepared in advance and after a short period of practice in handling the shuttle and learning about changing colours, the remainder of the day will be given over to creating your own unique tartan scarf in beautifully soft lambswool.
​
No previous experience is required and the class is suitable for all ages.
​
Once your booking has been made, you will be contacted for your colour preferences but, please note, you will be weaving a simple four colour tartan, not a recognised clan tartan.

WEEKEND WEAVING WORKSHOP
Two day workshop
10am to 4pm both days - £260
​
This class is suitable for beginners, those with some basic knowledge or those who have woven in the past but would like a refresher session.
Over two days, students will learn to wind a warp, dress the loom and weave a length of fabric. You will learn about good shuttle handling, finishing techniques for your woven cloth and if time allows, the basics of pattern drafting will also be introduced.
You will be assisted to design your own fabric, perhaps focusing on one of the subjects from the other classes, or an idea of your own. Materials will be provided to help in the design process so each piece of fabric can be as unique as the student weaving it.​

EXPLORING COLOUR THEORY
​
Two day workshop
10am to 4pm both days - £260
This class introduces students to basic colour theory; how to choose yarn colours and how they will work together in your weaving. We will explore the effect of different weave structures on colour perception and colour mixing in textiles.
Students will produce a range of woven wool samples, each illustrating a differing effect and colour combination. Suitable for all skill levels including beginners.

Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th April
PRIVATE WEAVING TUITION
Private tuition for individuals who prefer to work alone or with a friend, or groups of friends that would like a class for a special occasion (e.g. birthday, hen party) can be arranged.
Maximum class size is 6 people.
Workshops can be held at my studio in Swinton, at the student’s own home, or in another mutually agreed venue within a radius of 100 miles. I’ll still provide all the materials but you’ll need to budget to cover my travel expenses of 45p/mile.
