Workshop Calendar
All workshops are held and based in the Nelson/Tasman region, though occasionally some workshops are held on the West Coast.
We offer individual and small group workshops, working directly with the artists.
Our workshops are designed to be suitable for beginners as well as those with more advanced skills to extend your knowledge requiring mentoring with design elements and techniques. This event calendar outlines the range of textile art, fibre craft and artisanal workshops available.
If the available workshops dates do not fit your personal calendar, please feel free to inquire about the possibility of your own small group or one-to-one workshop, and we will endeavour to meet your needs.
To learn more or book online, simply click on the links below. Book early to secure your space as these are small group workshops and have a limited number of participants.
