Festive Weave a Multipurpose Pot in Brighton

Get into the festive spirit with a creative weaving class that combines seasonal fun with eco-friendly making. In this relaxing workshop, guest instructor Theresa Amarilio will guide you step by step as you create a beautiful woven pot using recycled clothing strips and colourful wool. You can also bring your own textiles to add a personal touch, so your finished pot feels even more unique.

The session begins with an introduction to basic weaving terms and techniques. First, Theresa helps you set up your weaving and choose textures and colours that suit your design. Then, you experiment with changing yarns, adding new shades, and building up your shape. After that, you learn how to add a base so the pot is strong and practical. To finish, you decorate it with trims, ribbons, or seasonal sparkle. Therefore, every participant leaves with a one-of-a-kind pot ready to brighten the festive season.

Your pot can be as practical or decorative as you like. Many participants choose festive colours and glitzy trims to create a Christmas pot. Others use softer tones so their design works all year round. Once completed, the pot is perfect for holding plants, pens, pencils, brushes, or treats. Because the workshop encourages personal choice, no two pots will ever look the same.

Theresa Amarilio is a highly experienced weaving tutor with more than 40 years of international teaching experience. She has worked with students of all ages and abilities, sharing her passion for weaving around the world. In addition, she is a qualified colour therapist, so she brings insight into how colours can influence mood, energy, and creativity. With her friendly teaching style, you will feel supported from start to finish.

This class is designed for complete beginners, so no weaving experience is needed. It offers a mindful and relaxing way to prepare for the festive season while also encouraging sustainable making. Because the materials include recycled textiles, the workshop celebrates creativity and eco-conscious choices. At the same time, it gives you the chance to make a thoughtful handmade gift or a practical pot to use at home.
