Ongoing Events at the Urban Weaver Studio:


Monday nights: Sticks and Strings

Monday evening get togethers are on hold while we deal with the flax crop. Barefoot weeding of the plots and trial runs at retting will probably take over the normal Monday slot. I'll post more up here as we go so you can come along and join in. If you're passing on  Monday evening 6-8.30 look out for us out on the grass spinning, knitting, preparing flax and feel free to join us. Also Scotchbroom processing dates again!

For more information see: Sticks and Stings event page



Saturday Afternoon: Invasive Basketry (1-4pm):
Weavers of all levels are welcome! Weave, learn and share ideas and techniques with other weavers and textile artists.
