Discover the Art of Weaving & Create Your Own Woven Wall Hanging

Join textile artist Nadine Wilde for a calming and creative workshop exploring the fundamentals of frame loom weaving. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned maker, this session offers a hands-on introduction to the world of woven textiles.

What You’ll Learn

In this workshop, Nadine will guide you through:

Setting up a frame loom for weaving
Understanding basic weave terminology
Techniques such as plain weave and soumak
How to finish and display your woven piece
You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for craft, materials, and process—plus your very own handmade woven wall hanging.

What’s Included

Everything you need is provided:

A variety of beautiful fibres including local Derbyshire wool, linens, cottons, silks, salvaged and naturally dyed yarns
All tools and materials
Plenty of inspiration and gentle guidance
By the end of the session, you’ll not only have a finished piece but also the skills and confidence to continue weaving on your own.

Who Can Join? This workshop is open to ages 12+ (accompanied by adult if aged 16 or under), from curious beginners to experienced weavers looking to reconnect with the basics or explore new materials. It’s a perfect opportunity to slow down, connect with textiles, and enjoy the meditative rhythm of weaving.

Artist Information: Nadine Wilde is a handweaver and artist that uses the language of weaving to explore the delicate dance of material, colour, and form, all while delving into themes of connection - to place, to kin, and to self. Where possible she utilises natural and discarded materials - second-hand, local or destined for landfill yarns breathing new life into them, transforming waste into stories whilst giving materials a renewed purpose and creating new ecologies from what was once forgotten. Her tapestries combine a mixture of traditional and unconventional techniques, and translate stories, ideas and feelings through the use of symbolism and abstract forms. Through this method of storytelling, her work aims to encourage the viewer to see the beauty in the everyday that surrounds us. She is currently pursuing a Masters in Craft: Textile Art at HDK (University of Gothenburg) and her practice is based between Sweden and the UK. Her creative practice and work experience expands over a range of facilitating and hosting workshops, teaching at secondary and higher education institutes and as a weave technical tutor.

Parking & access: lots of on street parking in the streets outside of the venue, also small P&D car park to the rear of Fenton Town Hall. The main entrance has steps, there is a side door with flat entrance accessed by a push button door, and access to a lift to the Ballroom.
