What you'll do

Learn the basics of tapestry weaving and create your own woven wall hanging at this hands-on Melbourne course!

Over three weeks, you will learn the different aspects of tapestry weaving with tapestry weaver and fibre artist Catherine Hallam. If you have a tapestry already in the making and would like to try out just one of the classes in this course, select the 'single class' option when booking.

In this beginner-friendly course, you will start with the basics of warping up, weaving and creating designs on a frame loom. You will also learn how to create and work with shapes in your designs, as well as techniques for creating texture and experimenting with colours.

Tapestry is a versatile craft that allows you to explore your own style, so once you get the hang of these techniques, the possibilities are endless!
