Goethean Study of Landscape with Weaving
Goethean Study and Landscape Weaving Make your own wall hanging using Eta's unique styles and techniques. This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as experienced weavers.
The Programme This weekend will involve two days of exploration of “Pishwanton’s landscape rooms”. On the first day we will use our senses guided by Margaret Colquhoun, to find the essence of a chosen place.
