Folk By The Oak Festival
This year I will be returning to the Craft Tent at this fantastic local folk music festival, held in Hatfield Park.
New collections of handwoven bags, scarves and eye pillows will be available to buy, alongside weaving kits and cotton yarn packs.
Last year I ran several weaving workshops during the day and this year I have another fun family workshop planned, which is open to both adults and children.
You can weave your very own placemat or mug rug in a selection of striking patterns, using a Rigid heddle loom. Visit the stand early on to book your place, as there will be a limited number of workshops available, so weavers have space to work and can get plenty of guidance with their projects.
£10 p/p - 1 hr workshop including materials and a pre-set loom.
Workshops will run at 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm
