South Hamar studio, Westray, Orkney - 30 May to 3 June 2022

Ros Bryant and Louise Martin

Come and explore the 'Queen' of the Orkney Isles.

As we work on Westray’s white sandy beaches or the high, nesting cliffs of Noup, bird life will fill the air. Through daily excursions we will discover the islands riches, both past and present, finding new ways to capture landscape in weave.

The course is suitable for new or experienced weavers who are keen to explore.

Workshop fee £380

South Hamar studio, Westray, Orkney - 8 to 12 August 2022

Weave and Stone

with Louise Martin and Ros Bryant

This unique course is an exciting collaboration between a tapestry weaver and a stone carver.

We will begin in weave, maybe binding stone, weighting warps, interpreting texture, colour and marks -  and progress to making marks on stone - scoring, chiselling, polishing, drilling in a two-way dialogue between the elements.

Workshop fee £400
