A day-long off-loom weaving workshop for beginners between 10am - 4pm in the beautiful setting of Fisherton Mill in Salisbury.
Off-loom weaving can be done in many different ways and in many places, however this workshop focuses on using found items from nature like branches and stones.
That nature provides your loom, and the materials and equipment you need can be carried in a pocket or small bag, makes this type of weaving a wonderful option for some outdoor crafting.
Weave on branches to decorate your home, a stone to use as a doorstop or paperweight, or simply focus on the mindful process of weaving.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The workshop will teach you the basic principles and terminology of weaving and you will be introduced to several off-loom weaving techniques, including rock weaving and branch weaving.
We will cover the following:
How to pick the best yarns for weaving
How to turn branches, stones and other items into looms including windows and doors for bigger pieces
Lots of weaving!
Finishing and removing weaving from your 'loom'
Spaces are limited to ensure you receive as much guidance as you need.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners and those that have weaving experience and would like to take their weaving off a conventional loom and out into the natural world.

How to get here
ELKA is a weaving and natural dye studio based in Hampshire.
Ellie spent a large part of her childhood living abroad and travelling. The vibrant markets of the Middle and Far East triggered her passion for colour, texture and pattern and this influence is expressed through her textiles.
She completed both her BA in Textile Design, specialising in woven textiles, and MA in Design for Textile Futures at Central St Martins College of Art and Design, graduating in 2006.
After graduating, she moved back to Winchester to set up her weaving business which she has been running full time since 2015. In 2018, Claudia started working with the business to produce naturally dyed yarns for Ellie to weave with.
