Beach Themed Weaving & Wine Workshop

The ancient art of hand weaving is such a wonderful way to wind down and relax, take time out of your everyday life and do something creative for yourself.Do you love all things related to the beach?In this half day weaving workshop in Perth, you’ll learn the super simple steps to create your own beach or ocean themed small wall hanging. Here’s what you’ll learn:

• First you’ll discover how to use all the weaving tools and choose the easiest ones for you.
• Then you’ll start by creating a simple fringe, using a Rya knot.
• Next you'll create the body of your weaving, using a colour palette of blues, teal, white and creams, so you create that feeling of being by the sea.
• Then you’ll take the weaving off the loom and finish it off by sewing in ends and adding a hanging pole; so you can proudly take it home.
• But not before you embellish your weaving with driftwood, shells and beads in any way you’d like.

And don’t worry if you’ve never done anything like this before - Sophie will be guiding and assisting you every step of the way!This weaving workshop is perfect for you if:
