Beginners Tapestry Workshop

This week I had my first tapestry workshop in my home.

I felt so honored having these woman who paid to come through my door to learn this beautiful ancient craft of tapestry weaving.

I had a selection of carefully curated woollen yarns.

Each student receives a bag containing a ready warped tapestry frame, wooden bobbin, wooden fork, two wooden shed sticks, wooden doweling a yarn needle, a copy of my ‘Beginners guide to tapestry’ and a ball of cotton warp so they can start another weaving at home.

Despite feeling nervous and suppressing any impostor syndrome emotions it was a really enjoyable afternoon doing something I love with pleasurable company.

The best bit about it was in the evening when all the students sent me photos of the weaving they had been doing that night…its addictive!
