7th November Full Day Weaving Workshop

Join Lucy for a day of weaving at Maryfield Studio surrounded by the flower farm just outside Banchory.
In this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of weaving on a table loom and have the option to reserve one of three loom types when you book: a rigid heddle, a 4-shaft table loom or an 8-shaft table loom. Each offers a different level of complexity, so you can choose the right one for your interests and experience (but all are perfectly fine for a beginner!)
We shall explore a range of weaving structures and techniques, working with colourful weft yarns on a wool warp, which has been naturally dyed using seasonal plant materials from the Maryfield grounds,  pre-threaded and ready for you to start weaving. Whether you’re weaving a cosy cowl scarf, a length of fabric to turn into something special or just want to have a go and see where the loom takes you, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind textile and hopefully some new weaving friends too!
