Come and enjoy a wonderful day of weaving with Agnis Smallwood on an eight shaft table loom. Whether you’re a beginner or already a weaver, this will be a lovely opportunity to experiment with colour and texture and go home with your own bespoke table runner or placemats.
Each attendee will have the use of their own eight shaft table loom for the day which will be set up and ready to go!
During the course you will learn:
– To use an eight shaft table loom.
– To experiment with colour and texture through weaving.
Participants will be given one to one support as well as watching group demonstrations. All equipment and materials are provided for use during the workshops. Please note there is a £17.50 material charge payable on the day.
Please note: Some participants can find weaving all day quite a physical activity. Participants often stand to use the looms though sitting is also an option.
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!
What you’ll need to bring with you
Just bring yourselves and a smile as everything will be provided on the day.
