Join Hannah for a two-hour 'artisan on the go' workshop, where Hannah brings the fundamentals of circular weaving to your doorstep. This hands-on session is designed to teach you how to create a unique wall tapestry using a round frame.

During the workshop, Hannah will guide you through selecting yarns and setting up your loom, a 20cm diameter metal ring. She'll introduce you to various weaving techniques such as tabby weave, soumak weave, and the rya knot technique. These methods will help you fill your loom and complete your tapestry.

Hannah will provide practical tips and advice throughout the session, ensuring you have the knowledge to weave independently after the workshop. The relaxed setting, complemented with beverages, makes for an enjoyable learning environment.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have a completed circular weave to take home and the confidence to tackle future weaving projects.

Fibre artist

Hannah Emerson is the talented fiber artist behind Tethered Twine. With a passion for creating beautiful, tangible pieces, Hannah has been a creative soul since childhood. Her love for drawing, painting and creating friendship bracelets paved the way for her artistic journey.

After obtaining degrees in Psychology and Fine Arts, Hannah's interests in macrame, weaving and crochet blossomed. She began creating stunning wall hangings that eventually led her to sell her pieces online in 2019. But that's not all, Hannah is also a data analyst, balancing her time between work and her passion.

Hannah's cozy shared atelier is where the magic happens. She's always eager to teach and share her knowledge with anyone who wants to learn. It's no surprise that she settled in Amsterdam after coming as a fille au pair for a gap year in 2010.

In recent years, Hannah has found joy in teaching workshops to share her knowledge and expertise with others. Her love for teaching is just as strong as her passion for creating, and she will be glad to welcome you at one of her workshops.
