On the first day, December the 7th, you will be designing a tapestry using natural materials. Using your chosen natural colours, you will learn how to dye yarn such as hemp, flax and wool using plants. You will learn how to dye with traditional dye plants such as indigo, madder, hemp, coreopsis and marigolds.
On the second day, December the 14th, after learning basic weave and tapestry techniques you will create your own design, using your own dyed yarn.
Lunch is provided using organic produce from the Wakelyn’s agroforestry farm. Lunch will include delicious cake and bread from the Wakelyn’s onsite bakery.
The handmade wooden oak frame loom you will be working on is included in the price to take away with you.
Everything else, such as dyes, yarns, teas and coffees are also included.
The price of this two day workshop is £210.
Limited numbers available so please book your place on the Wakelyn’s website.
Look out for Kitty’s winter weave and wine workshop happening the beginning of December.
