In this workshop you will have the chance to create a stunning piece of wall décor using some intermediate knotting techniques in order to create for yourself a beautiful feather wall hanging. You will be using organic recycled 5mm 3ply cords in a range of gorgeous colours. There will also be recycled beads should you wish to embellish your piece of art.
You will be provided with all the materials needed to make your feather hanging – locally sourced driftwood from the River Swale, cords, scissors, tape measure, paper tape, hooks, cat brush/comb and an assortment of beads.
You will be using 5mm 3ply cords, all the beautiful soft colourful cords are made from recycled fabrics & textiles, broken down and remade into the gorgeous organic muted earthy colours you will see at the class. Ness is very keen to create an intimate in-person workshop so that you feel you are getting the best guided experience and that you come away from your class feeling exhilarated and immensely proud of your Feather Wall Hanging.
Please note there is a £20 materials charge payable on the day.

What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all and provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors plus the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas and experiences. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
Arrive in time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning your session at the appointed time. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a homemade 2 course lunch. The main course will be delicious but don’t overdo it as the puds are usually worth waiting for! There will be a further afternoon break with the most wonderful cakes from Roots & Fruits Home Bakery, a North Yorkshire micro-bakery producing handmade bread and cakes. All food and refreshments are included in the price of the workshop.
Finish time is given as a target – there are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat… of course you could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make it a day being looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
