Textiles Summer Workshop - Tartan Weave
22nd July 2025
10am until 1pm
Suitable for: Parent and Child (aged 12 - 16 years)
Cost: £26. One ticket covers both parent and child.
Step into the world of Scottish textiles in this hands-on parent-and-child workshop, where you’ll be guided to design and weave your very own tartan using soft wool yarns inspired by the rich seasonal colours of the Dumfries House Walled Garden. Using a simple wrapped board technique, you’ll explore the fundamentals of weaving and create a beautiful herringbone pattern—a classic design deeply rooted in Scotland’s textile heritage. You’ll also have the chance to try your hand at weaving on a table loom, making this a fun and memorable introduction to the craft for all ages.
Please note: This workshop takes place in our Atelier, which is on the top floor of Dumfries House, and is accessed via 89 steps. The house does not have an elevator.
