Spend the day weaving your very own scarf or snood using an eight shaft table loom. Each loom with be set up and ready to use, meaning you can enjoy weaving for the whole day. There will be lots of different fibres, textures and colours to choose from to create your own bespoke outcome.
Participants will be given one to one support as well as watching group demonstrations. This workshop is suitable for beginners. Some participants can find weaving all day quite a physical activity. Participants often stand to use the looms though sitting is also an option.
All equipment and materials are provided for use during the workshop.
Please note a materials charge £17.50 is payable on the day.
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!
