Get in the festive swing with something a bit different this year - a handweaving workshop on Thursday 27th November, in Midsomer Norton. Work with British wool to create a beautiful mat or runner for your Christmas table, in reds, greens and snow-white. Beginners welcome and lots of support will be available to guide you through the process. To book your space, please contact me (Jade) on handloomroom@gmail.com by Sunday 23rd November. Thank you
