Workshops run on Wednesdays from April until October
This weaving workshop isn’t just an activity – it’s a genuinely immersive, slow-living experience that you won’t find anywhere else in the area.
Led by a crafter/weaver from Prickly Thistle Mill, the workshop blends traditional weaving techniques with mindful creativity, giving guests the rare chance to properly switch off, learn a new skill, and create something meaningful with their own hands.
Set in a calm, welcoming space, this is an intimate, hands-on session rather than a large, commercial class, with expert guidance tailored to each participant, whether you’re a complete beginner or quietly creative.
You’ll leave not only with a beautiful woven piece, but with a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship, heritage, and the simple joy of slowing down – something truly special and hard to find locally.

5.00This was an amazing experience and one of the favorite things we did on this trip! Claire is so fun, and she does an excellent job of teaching how to weave and the history of tartan. I loved the hands on cultural experience and the chance to live history. SO cool! Highly recommend!

5.00Just had an amazing weaving afternoon yesterday - a present for a friend & a shared activity. It was great fun with a lovely friendly group of other participants, all of whom were new to weaving. There was enough challenge to make us all come away with a real sense of achievement - as well as a lovely piece of unique tartan. Claire our hostess and teacher was a delight - friendly, supportive and a lovely natural storyteller with a wealth of history to impart. Thank you so much!
