Tiny Weaved Worlds | TRIBUTE

Tiny Weaved Worlds | TRIBUTE

with Emma Buswell

Make your own tiny beaded weaving in this colourful, hands-on workshop designed for kids and young makers. Participants will learn how to create and use a simple loom made from recycled materials, then turn colourful beads into their own patterned designs to hang in their room or transform into a keychain.

Along the way, kids will learn simple weaving techniques, experiment with colour and patterns, and create their own unique beaded artwork to take home.

This workshop is all about creativity, making and trying something new — perfect for curious kids who love craft, colour and hands-on activities. All materials are supplied.

Light refreshments will be provided. Please advise of any dietary requirements when booking. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend without booking.
