An introduction to the art of backstrap weaving - a traditional, loom-free process where you will learn how to construct a beautiful wall-hanging or table runner. 

With great feedback from previous sessions, we are delighted to run this session again, led by gallery volunteer and member of the Hampshire Weavers Guild, Karen Parkin. Learn this tactile and engaging way of weaving, with tips and tricks to create your own projects at home.
