This FREE course will give you the opportunity to explore the possibilities of weaving in a range of materials, both hard and soft, to create pieces that are both 2 and 3 dimensional. These sessions will allow you to practise these techniques in an informal and friendly environment with an experienced tutor.

During the course you will be developing traditional craft weaving skills in new and exciting ways to:

• Explore and use a range of weaving techniques to create sustainable fashions and jewellery
• Experiment with the exciting potentials of combining found and made materials, in a range of textures and colours
• Create beautiful craft objects that you can wear, share, or display in your home
• Find out how to use materials that otherwise you might throw away, in new and exciting creative ways
• Use scale, calculation and measurement to make pieces that fit where they are intended for!
