Tablet Weaving Workshop at Abbey House

In this workshop, you'll master the art of crafting a Viking-inspired belt using a blend of traditional weaving techniques and modern materials.

We’ll guide you through the process of threading and manipulating cards to create intricate patterns, and you'll also learn to interpret a straightforward weaving pattern. By the end of the session, you'll not only have your hand-woven belt to take home but also a sample showcasing various techniques.

No prior experience is necessary, and all equipment and materials will be provided.

Tea & coffee will be available. Please bring a packed lunch with you.
