A summary

Come join this interactive course where we will explore your creative ideas and weave them into your very own art piece. In the morning we will explore your ideas using a range of different activities and materials. You will then learn how to use a mini 2 shaft Micki Leksaker loom during our technical mastery and creative experimentation afternoon session together. This workshop is an enjoyable first step in weaving and will put you in good stead, if you decide to develop your weaving skills later on. It's suitable for those 16 years and above. All necessary equipment and materials will be provided for use on the day. We will have a half hour break for lunch; please bring a packed lunch with you.

About your mentor

Claire Bessel

Claire Bessel

I am a weaving consultant, weaving teacher and woven textile artist. I qualified with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Textile Science and Handloom Weaving from The Swedish School of Textiles in 2009 and have since then been developing my own practice in the field of art and weave design. I’ve developed courses in basic and advanced weaving, draft construction and textile material and have refined them for a range of different audiences through my years of teaching experience. My passion is to spread the joy of weaving to others and always to be learning something myself. In my spare time, I enjoy playing music, learning crafts and languages.

Cancellation policy

As I have to pay in advance for space and materials, unfortunately I cannot give refunds. However, if you are unable to attend after booking your place and know someone else who would like to attend instead of you that's fine. In this case, please let me know before the course begins.

My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
