Description

In this 4 hour workshop you will learn the basics of weaving. We’ll start the session weaving a bracelet. You can pick your own colours! And then we’ll continue learning with a second small project where we’ll experiment with different stitches.

Starting with small projects is a great way to experiment with different techniques and run into common made issues. As we’ll work with small groups there’s lots of time to give personal tips.
