You're invited to join Janna Maria in person for Tiny Tapestries - a chock-full workshop which introduces new weavers to the fundamentals of tapestry. We cover the basic design principles of tapestry weaving and then dive into the techniques, including some magic ones.

Why weave tiny tapestries?

Tiny tapestries can be made into ornaments, magnets, pins, patches, tiny wall hangings and whatever else your imagination can dream up. and they are a great way to dip your toes into the world of weaving tapestry.

Learn to dye wool yarn with plants at the Everlea Studio with Janna Maria.

You will go home with two skeins of naturally dyed yarn that you have dyed in colours of your choosing, as well as samples and recipes of a variety of colours which we will have dyed together that day.
