To link with our Make, Mend and Wash exhibition, explore a range of textile crafts with local crafts people. From lace making to weaving and tambour beading to spinning, each session will include a talk on the history of the technique, related objects from the Museum’s collection to look at, and a workshop for participants to try the technique and create a small object or sample to take away.

Weaving is a fundamental textile skill that is both practical and beautiful. In this workshop you will learn how to set up and weave different patterns on a tapestry loom while hearing about the history of this art form from a local expert.
