Learn to Use a Peg Loom – Create a Beautiful Sitting Mat
This is a one-day workshop on using a peg loom. We will be creating a beautiful wool sitting mat from scratch. You don’t need any prior experience in weaving; every step in the process will be explained and demonstrated. Peg loom weaving is quick to learn, so you can create something really beautiful in just one session.
Come and learn how to create a beautiful, environmentally-friendly, recyclable and compostable sitting mat which can be used for hiking, wild-swimming, camping, festival-going or simply as a cushion to put on a chair. Participants will be provided with a loom, the warp and all the wool necessary to complete the project. However, if you have your own wool (washed and carded) that you would like to use, do bring it along. This type of weaving is a great way to use wool from your stash that may be a bit too coarse or not suitable for spinning!
Please note: This is the second peg-loom weaving workshop we are running. Following interest from people who were unable to attend the first workshop on the original date, this session is suitable for both complete beginners and those who have already tried peg-loom weaving. If you attended the first workshop, or have some previous experience, you’ll have the opportunity to build on what you’ve learned and explore a few new techniques.
