Weaving can take on so many forms, baskets, mats, earrings, bowls using so many different media such as grass, raffia, string, fabric and wire to name a few. The workshops can be tailored to suit any needs. Based on skill level, time allocated or making a specific product.
The workshops can be designed for a specific group and a particular outcome, or both. Ideally the workshops should be between 5 and 10 people and 1 hour is the minimum time to be able to complete something.
