Adding interest to simple 4 shaft weaving using colour and texture. In this 3 day workshop we will explore 4 shaft M's and O's weaving, starting with scrap yarn windings to select a colour palette. The yarn windings will be followed by getting to grips with an M's and O's threading, exploring the variety of lift patterns and pushing the possibilities of 4 shafts.

Unleash your creative energy in a freestyle beaded embroidery day workshop and make your own embroidered decorative hoop to display at home.

Suitable for all skill sets, we will start right from the basics. Mairi will show you a variety of different stitching and beading techniques such as couching, ruffles and sequin stacking which you will use to make your own unique artwork. As well as mastering some basic stitching and beading techniques, you will learn how to create a bead palette, work with unconventional materials and finish your embroidery hoop to be able to hang up on the wall (or wherever you choose!)
