They can provide you a rigid heddle loom, or if you have one that you’re struggling to get the hang of, bring it on the day – learn to weave on your own loom! You could alternatively purchase a loom from them and they will bring it on the day and can put it together for you.
They will be using larger looms so that they can have a big beautiful piece at the end. You will learn to weave using different techniques, so you could use it as a sample piece, or if you wanted to make something to show off, they can do that too!

Head along to a knotting workshop with Emer from Knotty Potty at Clever Hands Studio for an introduction to the wonderful world of macrame. Its easier than it looks!
Emer has been teaching for over 15 years which has provided her a deep understanding how best to approach this mindful arts and craft skill. Class includes a take away instruction leaflet so you can continue at home and develop your skill further.
Aimed at beginners, you will enjoy learning the a variety of creative knotting techniques to create your very own handbag. Choose from a single colour or collate colours to match your style. Macrame provides a real tranquility, it’s pretty addictive but in a good way. Learn new techniques for yourself or perhaps use your new skills to make a handmade gift for another.
The workshop includes all materials and instructions to make a gorgeous evening bag.
The workshop time takes around 3hrs, includes refreshments & snacks. Take a short break from knotting as you need it and browse our gift shop.
If you find you’ve caught the macrame bug, additional materials, rope, beads etc will available to buy on the day for you to take away and make at home along with kits as gifts for others.

Beginner level, no experience necessary, all materials provided. Mainly a class for adults but get in touch to ask about under 16.
‘Linocut printing involves cutting away from a block of linoleum, and inking and printing the uncut areas. When you place your carved, inked up block face down on a sheet of paper, the printed image will appear as a mirror image to how you have carved your block. Areas you have cut away will remain the white of the paper you print on.’
During this one day course you will be guided through the basics of Linocut, an enjoyable process that makes a perfect introduction to printmaking. You will learn how to transfer an image onto your lino, carve your lino blocks and create a small edition of 2-colour prints. You will also gain insight on the materials and tools used, and how you can continue the process as home.
