We’ll take our inspiration from the colours, shapes and textures of the lochside landscape, using a simple frame and selection of yarns. Think of it as a combination between relaxation, mindful creativity and appreciation of the outdoors. Create your own tapestry weaving doodle based on the natural world around us, a tiny sampler to take away.
No experience necessary.
All materials and equipment provided.
Children over 10 welcome when accompanied by an adult.

Inspired by the natural world, one of my favourite things is sitting somewhere outdoors ‘weaving the view’, distilling key elements of what I see to create a tapestry in just a few hours. When I look at the tapestry afterwards, I’m reminded of the birdsong, breeze and sense of wellbeing that I experienced while I was weaving. My portfolio also includes much more in-depth studio-designed pieces, each the product of many hour, days and weeks of planning and weaving. And I love inspiring other people to be creative through the medium of tapestry weaving, often through participatory outdoor weaving experiences, but also through workshops and community projects.
USEFUL TO KNOW.....
We'll be based at Ardgour Ales, in Ardgour. We’ll be outdoors, soaking up the atmosphere of the environment around us, so come prepared for any weather. We’ll have shelters, so unless it’s blowing a hoolie from the north, we’ll be able to carry on regardless.
With our base at Ardgour Ales, you’ll be able to refresh your creative energies with tea, coffee and snacks throughout the day, and of course their own craft ales will be available from to enjoy. Ideal if you have a partner, friends or family who are less interested in the art! Check out what's available at https://www.ardgourales.scot/
The Brewery is a short walk from the Corran Ferry, which is free for foot passengers. On a Saturday, the first ferry runs from Corran is at 6.30am and the last ferry leaves Ardgour at 9.20pm, and on Sunday it's a later start at 8.30am from Ardgour/8.45am from Corran, and a 9.20pm last ferry.
