About

Celebrate the wonders of shore life at Castle Espie with a creative, hands-on weaving workshop led by Christine from Kiri Cottage Crafts.

Participants will learn how to weave colourful birds and fish using simple looms made from recycled materials. Using a variety of vibrant yarns, including salvaged and repurposed materials, you'll create your own unique piece inspired by the wildlife and landscapes of the shoreline.

Weaving is an ancient heritage craft, and this workshop offers a wonderful opportunity to discover traditional skills in a fun and accessible way, helping to keep this creative practice alive for future generations.

Suitable for beginners and experienced makers alike, the session combines creativity, sustainability and a celebration of nature. Best of all, you'll take home your handmade woven creation as a lasting reminder of your day at Castle Espie.

Meet Christine from Kiri Cottage Crafts and discover the joy of transforming reclaimed materials into beautiful works of art inspired by shore life.
