Home Educator Workshop- The Big Weave
Come and weave with us in the Great Hall!
Join a group of artist-makers in the creation of a vibrant new woven artwork inspired by the medieval Coventry Tapestry. No previous weaving experience needed – we will share a few simple skills and you will be weaving in no time!
