Spend a creative weekend learning the art of weaving with Manawatū-based weaver Natasha Christensen. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of working with a four-shaft table loom while creating your own beautiful handwoven shoulder wrap to take home.
Set in the peaceful, rural surroundings of The Herb Farm in Ashhurst, this two-day course is perfect for beginners. You’ll gain the skills and confidence to begin your weaving journey, from preparing a warp and dressing the loom through to weaving your finished piece using New Zealand wool and other natural fibres in your choice of hand-dyed colours.
Workshops are kept small, with a maximum of eight participants and all equipment and materials are provided. You’ll each be learning to weave on a modern Ashford NZ four-shaft table loom and you’ll receive printed notes to support your learning.
Please note that lunch is not included. If you’d like to purchase food from the on-site cafe, you’ll have the option to order as a group (and pay individually) so meals can be served together during our lunch break. Cafe meals typically range from $22–$28, with additional cabinet options available.
The workshop runs from 9:30am to 4:00pm on both days.
Venue: The function room at The Herb Farm, 86 Grove Road, Ashhurst (15 minutes from Palmerston North.
Cancellation Policy: The workshops are non refundable but you are welcome to transfer your place to a friend if you can’t make it on the day.
