Tapestry Weaving Workshop in Lunenburg (November 2, 2025)

Spend some time at the Lines That Bloom Studio in Lunenburg, a brand new creative wellness space, unleashing your creativity and immersing yourself in the rhythmic, calming flow of tapestry weaving. In this 3 hour weaving course, led by House of Woolly Thyme's textile artist and teacher Mary Anne Donovan, you will be gently guided into the world of modern weaving. No previous weaving or fibre craft experience is necessary to create your own unique handwoven wall hanging. 

The frame loom weaving techniques covered in this course will bring you from start to completion of a uniquely designed wall hanging, made from natural fibres by your own hands. Topics covered include:

• warping your loom
• several weaving stitches including the tabby stitch, soumak stitch, hemstitch and more
• tension tips
• designing and creating simple shapes
• finishing and hanging techniques
