Overview

Come along to The Weavers' Studio, and try your hand at weaving in this free, drop-in activity.

Stay for a moment or settle in for a while as you experiment with colour, texture and pattern using simple looms.

The Weavers' Studio is suitable for everyone, including beginning and more experienced weavers. Children and families are invited to create and play on specially designed looms for our youngest weavers.

Visit and return anytime throughout the exhibition to weave your mark. Arthur Boyd: Tapestries is on display in Gallery 12 from 20 June to 18 October 2026.

Children must be supervised by an adult.
