PRICE IS PER FAMILY!
Come along to a fun weaving class where you and your family can discover the joy of this relaxing craft and create fun artworks together!
Led by an experienced textile artist in her light-filled home studio, you'll learn the basics of weaving and explore a wide range of materials, including wool, speciality fibres, paper yarn, ribbons, copper wire, pipe cleaners, glow in the dark yarns and much more.
During the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to bond with your loved ones as you let your creativity flow. Suitable for all beginners. Your teacher will ensure that you feel comfortable and supported throughout the class.
At the end of the workshop, you'll have the chance to frame your artworks together in one picture frame, creating a beautiful memory to take home. After the workshop, you will be emailed high quality images captured during the workshop.
Invite your relatives, from children to parents, grandparents, cousins, uncles, and aunts - this workshop is open to everyone!
Note: The price is per family with up to five members. Please book for 1 person only, which means 1 family! Leave the number of guests at 1.
For families larger than 5 members, please contact me for a private class, as some surcharge will apply.
What you will learn:
  • You will learn how to dress the weaving frame as well as a basic weaving technique.
  • You will experiment and have fun with textures, surfaces, and colours.

I am a passionate and highly skilled textile/visual artist with over 15 years of experience in weaving and art making.
I have a master’s degree in woven textile design, and I have been a practicing studio artist since 2005. I have frequently exhibited in Australia and overseas as well as worked on large scale public art and socially engaged art projects. I work from my home studio, and I sell my works at art galleries and on my online shop. I draw inspiration from the wilderness, the human condition, and my Hungarian cultural heritage. I specialise in loom and off-loom weaving with alternative and recycled materials to create 2 and 3 dimensional mixed media artworks.
After gaining experience through private tutoring, I now open my home studio for group classes. I’m excited to share my skills and knowledge on how to give the ancient technique of weaving a contemporary application.
