At the request of local weavers - A Handloom Practice Group in Castlemaine!

Tutorial / Studio style sessions, assisting whatever project/s you would like to bring along for company or guidance. These sessions shape to the needs of participating weavers - wherever you’re at!

You might begin a new piece or continue an existing one, receive help with reading drafts or planning your warp, ask about design, combining yarns, deepen your understanding of a structure or simply enjoy the cross-pollination that working together brings. All weavers welcome!
