SAT 1st FEB

WORKSHOP INFO: £55 (4hrs) Everything Included - tools & equipment for use on the day, materials & refreshments. Peg loom weaving, sometimes called ‘Viking weaving’ is a method of hand weaving. In this workshop you will be using a peg loom & prepared sheep’s fleece to make your weaving. The weaving would make a lovely rug, seat pad or pet mat. We will use washed sheep’s fleece from various native British sheep breeds, including rare breeds. The fleeces have different textures (smooth, curly), are naturally variable colours (undyed) and we will use some carded fleece also. Each person will have their own loom to work on during the workshop. You will learn all the process from start to finish to create a complete weaving. This will include how to string the peg loom, weave with different fleece textures and how to finish your woven piece with a robust knotted finish. N.B Although the sheep’s fleeces are washed, some lanolin remains. If you have an allergy to lanolin you can wear gloves or this workshop might not be for you. *** Please Note *** We require a minimum of 5 to run this workshop. No refunds available. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel the workshop, you will be offered an alternative date or a refund.
