In this workshop Brooke will guide you through the art of freestyle weaving. The workshop begins with an introduction to Brooke and the ethos of Make Town, a vibrant and collaborative space spread over three floors.
You'll start by learning about the loom that will be set up for you. Brooke will show you how to use it so you feel comfortable and ready to weave. Next, you'll choose your colours and fibres from a wide range so you can personalise your creation and make it truly unique. Then comes the exciting part - weaving! Brooke will be on hand to help, but you'll have the freedom to weave at your own pace, enjoying the process and letting your creativity flow.
By the end of the session you'll have your very own woven wall hanging to take home!
So join Brooke and discover the wonderful world of freestyle weaving in a supportive environment.Â
