2012 Workshops
Jane Freer-Wyld:
Jane discovered weaving whilst at teacher training college in the
early 1970’s, although her love of tapestry came a few years later. Each tapestry teaches her at least one new
thing, so it keeps her on her toes.
The brilliant thing about tapestry weaving, she says, is that the
simplest of techniques can give great effects. Each participant will be provided with a
ready warped frame and weft threads.
Serena Partridge, came to visit us in June 2011
and will show us how to make those precious little shoes.

batik, Andrew will bring all the equipment required.
