Course programme

You will pair a base, insert stakes, upsett and wale. The siding will be woven in a false French rand and the border will be a simple trac.

Students with some experience will be encouraged to stretch themselves by trying a technique new to them, or by refining their skills.

This is a practical course. You will be taught by demonstration, individual and group tuition. There will be examples to help you.
