Morning Dye Workshop:
Our in-house dye masters will teach you how to prepare the wool for dyeing and how to create a collection of beautiful earth tones using Henna and various other natural ingredients for you to weave with after lunch.
Afternoon Weaving Workshop:
Thread up and weave on a simple wooden frame loom using your Henna dyed wool. You will be taught how to make the special Berber knot as used in the carpets made by our artisans in the region to add texture to your weave and explore Amazigh (Berber) symbols as used by the weavers in their carpet designs.
At the end of the workshop you will cut the work off the loom to take with you. You also have the option to purchase the frame loom for a small additional cost and take it away with you to continue weaving at your leisure.
