Weaving workshops
Weave and breathe
Enjoy a day being creative, learning a new skill and making something useful in a relaxing, restorative atmosphere.
My weaving workshops provide an opportunity to learn a new skill, to reconnect with nature, to unwind and spend a day being creative. Weaving requires focus and is relaxing at the same time and can be therapeutic. To make something beautiful and useful is rewarding and fulfilling. We have fun too!
They are usually held at the beautiful Felin Uchaf Centre, on the Llŷn Peninsula in north west Wales. All materials are supplied, and these are usually grown locally. Refreshments are also provided in the characterful Felin cafe building.
I can also run day or half day workshops for organised groups (5-8 people) please get in touch to discuss. Examples include willow planters/birdfeeders, wool seat pads using a peg loom, garden supports or a foraging basket.
All my workshops require a minimum of 5 participants, and a maximum of 8. Full payment is required on booking, which is non refundable unless there is someone who can take the place (there is usually a waiting list). If I have to cancel the workshop for any reason I will refund in full. You can have a look at my scheduled workshops and book a place below.
