Weaving on a Frame Loom Workshop

Learn the basics of weaving on a frame loom this half term.

Join Agnis to explore lots of different techniques that can be incorporated into a woven outcome when using a simple frame loom. This workshop will be about experimentation of techniques as well as materials. You will go home with a woven wall hanging but maybe more importantly with lots of knowledge and ideas for developing into future woven outcomes.

This workshop is suitable for adults as well as those in secondary school. Please note any person between the ages of 11-15 will need to be accompanied by an adult, therefor two tickets will need to be purchased.

An ideal workshop for a student wanting to develop their textile knowledge and work towards a portflio of samples. Join us this half term!

Things to bring

Yourselves, ideas , a packed lunch (there are also places to buy lunch in the mill and on Farsley Town Street.)

We will provide

Refreshments (drinks and cake!), all materials and equipment.
