Workshops in the Studio
We offer a range of workshops here in our studio in Whitstable.
2-Day Colour Theory through Yarn Winding Workshop
Join us in our Whitstable studio this May for a new 2-day workshop exploring colour theory through yarn winding.
Often used by weavers to consider the relationship between colour, yarn windings are created by wrapping coloured threads around card or wood. Guided by Margo, participants will create their own textile studies exploring stripe, proportion and colour.
5-Day Creative Weaving Workshop
Join us in our Whitstable studio for an immersive five‑day creative weaving workshop. Suitable for weavers of all levels, this hands‑on experience gives you time at the looms to explore technique, structure and design with guidance from Margo and the studio team. Across the week, participants will work across a range of studio looms, experiment with different approaches, and take part in colour and design sessions that inform warp and weft choices. By the end of the workshop you’ll have a collection of hand‑woven samples to keep and refer to as your ideas continue to grow.
