Centre for Better Health

Come and learn this relaxing, repetitive and ancient art practice. No experience needed! Weaving is a calming, self-regulating, and absorbing art practice that dates back over 12,000 years. Weaving has been considered a valuable cultural skill in communities all over the world including Mexico, Ghana, China, Appalachia, Aboriginal, ancient Egyptian, Indian, Guatemalan, Scottish . . . Freestyle tapestry weaving is a practice where you have the freedom choose your own colours, textures and patterns, and where you can lose yourself in the power of fibre art. “I was surprised at how calm I felt after an hour of weaving.” “I have chosen bright colours that really stand out. One day I hope to become as bold as the weaving I am creating” “It has been good coming to a group where I can talk if I want to, and it’s ok to just sit in silence and weave if I don’t feel like talking, and either way I know I am welcome”
