    Nature Art Weaving

    Do you find that the natural things you find on your walks are inspiring? Would love to have them displayed for your enjoyment all year long?

    This nature-inspired weaving includes lots of different yarns and roving, along with chunks of pieces of wood, and any other bits. 

    Your nature walk is now on your wall! 

    Bring your wild yarns, roving and something to hang your warp from, often for me it’s a small, fallen branch. In addition, bring anything you would like to experiment with weaving into your piece.

    No previous experience necessary!

    Class maximum is 6 students   Cost - $75.00         ACP Members - $60.00
