Weaving Workshops

The Conscious Weaving workshops are run as part of our Conscious Living Project.

They are three-hour long sessions that aim to bring the Leith community and ethnic minorities to create art together with a positive impact on our mental health through giving opportunities for creative work, socialising, learning and self-expression.

The project provides three three-hour tutored workshops and open weaving sessions per month from April to January 2025.

Participants will have an opportunity to learn how to create their own tapestries using handloom while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee. Each participant is provided a starter kit and a wide range of sustainably sourced or recycled yarns and fabrics during the workshop.

The end of the project will be celebrated with a local exhibition in Leith with voluntary participants to show effects of their work and its impact on their wellbeing.
