Learn the wonderful craft of peg loom weaving and make a seat pad, kneeling mat, pet mat or wall hanging to take home with you!

Learn a new skill and get absorbed in this therapeutic weaving technique.

We will weave with British wool, in a range of natural colours and textures from a variety of rare and native breeds.

You'll learn about all the benefits of wool and get to grips with weaving on a peg loom. This is a wonderful, accessible craft, and peg looms and wool will be available to purchase if you'd like to do more weaving at home.

Refreshments are included.
