Come and try this traditional, straightforward weaving method and make a gorgeous textured wall hanging using a frame loom.
This workshop is perfect if you’re new to weaving. Using a frame loom, you will have the opportunity to design and weave your own bespoke wall hanging with Agnis to guide you. She will support you throughout with group demonstrations as well as individual help as needed.
You will learn a range of different techniques to incorporate into your piece. There will be a wide selection of different yarns in a range of colours and textures – both natural and synthetic fibres. Plenty of materials to inspire you create your own unique hanging.
All materials and equipment are provided.
Please note that there is an £8 materials charge payable on the day for this workshop.

What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. 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.
We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. 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 delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.
The finish time given is 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. 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 sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
