3 week course

A Day of Weaving

£58/£55(c) • Friends £56/£53(c)

Enjoy a fun filled day creating your very own decorative weaving; with passionate textile artist Rebecca Connolly.

Everyone will have their own loom that will be set up and ready to go, allowing you with as much time as possible for weaving.

You will be encouraged to experiment using a wide range of yarns with a bias towards British Wool in its un-dyed natural colour and plant-dyed colour as used in Rebecca’s own practice. 

The weaving you create is yours to take home - to enjoy as a hanging, to embellish a garment, trim a cushion or with some simple stitching made into something ‘useful’. Enjoy a creative, meditative day embracing the concept of ‘Slow Textiles’.

Hello Ducks!

£72/£69(c) • Friends £70/£67(c)

Join former Prema resident artist and dazzlingly imaginative wire artist, Celia Smith, as she leads today’s special ornithological workshop.

During today’s workshop, you will be creating one of the nation’s favourite quackers – a loveable, waddling, web-footed duck.

To fashion the sweetest little wire duck, you will be using an assortment of copper and steel wire; along with a selection of reclaimed wire, including telephone cabling.

Mosaic Plant Pots

£73/£70(c) • Friends £71/£68(c)

Treat yourself and your garden this summer with a day of creative mosaic with the exuberant and glorious Emma Leith.

In today’s workshop you will learn the art of mosaic design, the difference between indoor and outdoor mosaic and you’ll be introduced to the materials best suited for an outdoor piece.  

You will leave with your very own mosaic plant pot and all the skills and know how to continue your mosaic journey with confidence.

Paper Making & Wood Engraved Print

£105/£102(c) • Friends £103/£100(c)

Here's a brilliantly inventive two-day workshop with maker and art conservationist Katherine Witchell and incredible resident artist Molly Lemon as they teach you skills in paper making and wood engraving. Learning these two processes will allow you to print from your hand-engraved wood blocks onto your own handmade paper.
