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”

Art therapy is a therapeutic technique rooted in the idea that creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being. Art, either the process of creating it or viewing others' artwork, is used to help people explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, cope with stress, boost self-esteem, work on social skills, or just for relaxation. This workshop is not a test to examine your craft skills; it is just a time to learn and share together in the hope that it will help you find a new hobby and relax in your free time. At this workshop, we will combine craft practice and mindfulness which will give us some techniques to relax, release stress, and refresh our minds. This also gives you a chance to discover your artistic skills and spend time in personal reflection to notice what type of flowers or colours you like and why.

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”

Art therapy is a therapeutic technique rooted in the idea that creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being. Art, either the process of creating it or viewing others' artwork, is used to help people explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, cope with stress, boost self-esteem, work on social skills, or just for relaxation. This workshop is not a test to examine your craft skills; it is just a time to learn and share together in the hope that it will help you find a new hobby and relax in your free time. At this workshop, we will combine craft practice and mindfulness which will give us some techniques to relax, release stress, and refresh our minds. This also gives you a chance to discover your artistic skills and spend time in personal reflection to notice what type of flowers or colours you like and why.

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”

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”
