Workshop Leader

Barbara Cole has been leading her very popular textile workshops for years in mid Wales. A creative, versatile and friendly teacher, Barbara will teach you the basic skills you need to make and take home some beautiful hand woven pieces.

Barbara has a BA(Hons) in Woven Textiles and a PGCE in Art and Design. She taught Art and Design in Cambridge before having her sons. Since then Barbara has taught adults in Art shops, Hertfordshire County Council evening classes and in various other venues. She moved to Mellington 11 years ago and now teaches weaving and hand dyeing from her home studio. 

Using ready warped small tabletop looms you will have fun experimenting with and weaving with a variety of yarns, silks, threads, ribbons to make a mini wall hanging. All the materials are provided and you will have a selection to choose from. In the time available you will be able to make at least one lovely hanging and you could finish up with several. There is an opportunity to purchase buy extra bobbins to support your hanging.
