Event Details
Awaken your environment with the fragrance and beauty of dried flowers and herbs from Forest Glen Herb Farm.
In this one-day course we will use upcycled picture frame looms to create a beautiful and fragrant wall hanging. Each participant will be provided with a picture frame, pick up sticks, shuttles, yarn, and drift wood. There will a wide array of dried plant material to choose from.
Once we all have the looms “dressed” you will be shown how to weave with the plant material to create your wall hanging.
Going forward, you can use the skills learned in this workshop to create beautiful gifts from your own garden or foraging. We think this will be a very special day indeed.
