Step into the world of slow craft with our hands-on weaving workshops. Whether you are a curious beginner or looking to reconnect with your creativity, these sessions offer a relaxed space to explore traditional techniques using soft, natural materials like paper string, willow bark, and found objects, You’ll learn how to create functional brooms, sculptural forms, baskets, or decorative pieces - each one unique to you. No two weavings are ever the same. Come as you are, leave with something handmade, and experience the grounding rhythm of working with your hands.

“This was such a beautiful and rewarding experience. You not only learn an ancient and timeless skill, you also bring home a handwoven basket made by your own hands. I would highly recommend this experience and Nikita is a wonderful facilitator”
