A Taste of Tapestry
Join me at the North Hertfordshire Museum in Hitchin for an immersive introduction to tapestry weaving, one of the oldest and most enduring forms of textile art. While traditionally created in silk, linen and wool, the techniques of weaving shape and form have remained unchanged for centuries.

Time: 11:00am – 2:30pm
Price: £40 per person (Includes all materials and equipment)
Location: North Hertfordshire Museum, Brand Street, Hitchin, SG5 1JE
Discover the meditative rhythms of the loom. In this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of woven tapestry while creating your own small, landscape-inspired textile piece.
I will guide you through the process of building structure and image, from forming geometric shapes to blending subtle tones to create a soft, woven sky. With looms pre-warped and ready to weave, you can focus on the creative process.
