Warped Weaving Camp (CSC215)

Learn all about the wonderful art of weaving and create your own beautiful and sustainable artwork from warp, weft and natural treasures.

What you will learn on this course

On this three-day course, participants will get the chance to create their own woven masterpieces inspired by the natural world.

Children will learn the ancient techniques of weaving, work on a weaving frame, incorporate natural forms and materials and base their ideas on nature. They will learn how to make a 3d sculptural and sustainable art work using simple warp and weft weaving and even include natural elements in their artworks.

Learners will gain visual art, design and craft making skills in a range of 2D and 3D techniques, and will use a range of art equipment and materials to gain an understanding of creating art work through different methods.

Who is this course for?

This one-day course is suitable for children aged 8 to 14 years old. Full instruction and guidance will be provided by the Tutor but 1:2:1 support is not possible. We provide a learning support worker for the group and all our staff are DBS checked. Parents are not expected to accompany children on the course.

A parent or carer may assist their child if required but must book a complimentary ticket if attending a course to provide support. The room is wheelchair accessible.

Age ranges are set carefully to consider key age developments, materials being used, and course stimulus. It is very important that age ranges are not too large or across key stages and therefore need to be adhered to.

Do you need to bring anything?

All course material and equipment are provided. Children should dress appropriately as some visual art workshops can get a bit messy.

Please note that lunch is not provided. Children will need to bring their own lunch to eat on a supervised one-hour break.

Are there any additional costs?

There are no additional costs for this course.
