Weaving is such a wonderful and therapeutic form of making.

- Finally, how to finish off your weave art, taking it off the loom and hanging it onto a wooden branch for hanging on the wall.
You will be encouraged to experiment with colours and textures using a selection of yarns and roving to create your piece.
After 4 weeks, Participants will take home one beautifully finshed woven wall hanging! End product will measure up to 30''x15'' (12'' tassel length)
