Workshop
Join Liz Mitchell as she invites you to join her wool loving community of enthusiasts in this four-day workshop navigating weaving with just a foam board and natural fibres.
With the intention of deepening the understanding of wool and its qualities, participants will experience the hands-on processes of off-loom weaving, and both wet and needle felting. The end result will be a woven, felted square tile, as seen in the recent Homestead Galleries exhibition This Raw Material, and a newfound or heightened appreciation for the joys of wool.
Taking place in Liz's new Textile Hub right here at Corban Estate, beginners through to experts are all welcome. All key materials will be supplied but if there are any natural materials / fibres of your own you would like to incorporate into your work, please feel free to bring them along!
