Designed for those who have completed the introductory weaving workshop, this immersive session unfolds over two days.
The first day begins with an introduction to Brooke and the ethos of Make Town. Participants then dive into the practice of using the loom, learning how to prepare and thread it for their project. The creative journey continues as they choose their warp thread colors, laying the foundation for their textile creation.
On day 2, participants will delve deeper into the art of weaving. Under Brooke's guidance, you will explore a palette of colors and fibers and master the techniques necessary to create your own bespoke scarf. By the end of the workshop you will have woven enough fabric to transform into a beautiful scarf, cushion cover or just a large wall hanging!
So join Brooke's workshops for an enriching experience that celebrates artistic expression and craftsmanshipNB: The price of the workshop includes all the days defined in the description. Booking on the Wecandoo website only allows you to book the date of the first session. All subsequent sessions must be booked directly with the craftsman.
