A chance to explore tapestry weaving, taking our inspiration from around the Mill and the exhibitions in the galleries, exploring the changing seasons and a range of techniques. We will look at the local colours and textures as well as the views, and then create our own small tapestries, or we can develop projects you are already working on. Suitable for beginners and improvers. All equipment provided, or bring your own.
