Spend a day weaving together on our Looms!

Join us with your best friend to spend the day weaving together. These workshops are designed for you and a friend to work together on a small project, for example this could be weaving a cushion cover. You will be sharing a loom throughout the workshop and working collaboratively. Whilst one person is weaving the other will be choosing colours and winding pirns ready for the person weaving. You will swap over throughout the session so you can both have time on the loom. You will have the choice to either make two small pieces of weaving so you can each take a piece home separately or to produce one longer piece together.

Agnis will guide you through the day, giving demonstrations as well as offering 1 to 1 support. There is a huge choice of wonderful yarns available for you to choose from during the workshop.

There will be a maximum of 12 people in this workshop.

PLEASE NOTE - Only one ticket is needed per pair of weavers.

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.
