You arrive Saturday evening in time for supper and depart the following Saturday morning after breakfast.

You can weave, spin, dye, or any combination of all three crafts.

With an average of three or four students, and never more than six at a time, classes are small and personal, enabling Martin to take complete beginners and experienced students together. This individual approach means that you can achieve a great deal in only a week.

Tuition is from 9am - 4.30 pm daily and the studio is available 24 hours a day for students to contuinue on their own. One day mid-week is 'free' to explore the area or continue in the studio. This day is timed so that students wishing to continue in the workshop will be able to work unaided.

Materials are charged at cost and usually come to less than £5, unless you are weaving a rug which can be up to £25.
