Freestyle Weaving and 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.Sophie is what you might call a ‘modern weaver’, encouraging an ‘anything goes’ approach to creating her woven wall hangings. One of the many things she loves about this craft is the endless possibilities and you’ll never find her answering your question: “can I do…in my weaving?” with a no!This is the perfect place to really get your creative on, try things out, safe in the knowledge you’ll be making something spectacular. Most people are amazed with what they make, without any experience at all.In this half day weaving workshop in Perth, you’ll learn how to use all the tools, add a fabulous fringe, create the body of your weaving with colours that go well together, 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.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:

• You’re looking for something relaxing.
• You love trying new crafty things.
• You’ve always wanted to give weaving a try.
• You’re a total beginner and happy to learn.
• You’re looking for something different.

Indulge in a glass of wine (or non-alcoholic beverage) and a light grazing platter while you work and take home a vibrant mini weaving handmade by you!This is the ‘freestyle’ class where anything goes colour and design-wise - you choose (with Sophie’s guidance if required).If you’d prefer to follow something more prescriptive, check out the other listings for ‘Beach Themed Weaving Workshop’, ‘Rainbow Weaving Workshop’ and ‘Nature Landscape Weaving Workshop’.Sophie offers small public or private classes in her studios, where you’ll get plenty of 1-2-1 help. As well as private or hens parties at your own (minimum of 6 people).Or larger groups in a venue to be determined according to your requirements.

• You will get the use of a wooden hand loom, weaving tools, and an abundance of beautiful coloured yarns.
• One glass of wine or non-alcoholic beverage (you can BYO after that).
• There will be a light grazing platter, either sweet or savoury depending on the time of your workshop.
• A chance to browse through my original weaving collection, plus any work in progress in the studio.
