Workshop

An Introduction to Contemporary Hand Weaving

10 May 2025
10:30am -4:30pm
£120

This tapestry frame weaving workshop will give each participant a fundamental grounding in tapestry weaving techniques.

In this workshop, participants will explore techniques including plain weave, dovetailing, hatching, Rya knotting, and free weaving. You’ll also learn to develop a simple design through creative sketchbook work and plan it before beginning on the loom.

Participants will be encouraged to experiment with colour and geometry - key themes of Dalia’s work- as well as exploring the use of texture through alternative materials. Participants will also be shown how to finish their piece along with ideas for display. The session will include everything you need, a tapestry frame loom, tools, sketchbooks, stationary, hand-dyed yarns and alternative materials such as straw, paper and bark.

Tickets include lunch.
