Weaving Workshop: Ages 6+ This inclusive workshop invites participants of all backgrounds and skill levels to explore the ancient art of weaving, inspired by the rich tapestry of cultures and the beauty of our local environment. Participants will learn weaving techniques and use provided materials to create their own small tapestry. A variety of loom sizes, animal-shaped frames, and other materials encourage creativity and self-expression. Attendees will choose their materials and work at their own pace.

The workshop prioritizes sustainability by using natural fibres sourced from eco-friendly, local suppliers whenever possible. By working with biodegradable and responsibly produced materials, participants engage not only in artistic creation but also in environmental awareness. Participants will leave with their completed pieces to take home.
