Twining with plant fibres consists of two pieces of material (the ‘weavers’) moving
around and crossing over between, some unmoving elements (stakes, spokes, uprights). If
this were on a loom, they would be the equivalent of the warp (uprights) and weft
(weavers). The weavers move in a spiral around the uprights and at a certain point a piece
of magic takes place and the shape turns from a square into a circle.
A combination of strokes in a specific sequence creates the finished piece. There are many
questions and options to consider: direction of travel, choice of material, how to begin,
what sort of pattern, with or without a handle?
Come and take part in this 2-day workshop and explore your own answers to some of these
questions, which will be in our fingers.

Venue and Parking
The hall is in the tiny village of Bolton, at the far end away from the church. If you are
following a satnav, be aware that it may try and take you down a track to the left of the
church to Bolton Hall rather than Bolton Village Hall which is on the main street.
Parking is on the road just outside the hall; please park away from any of the houses.
