Inklings

Our weaving studio presents classes, retreats and bespoke activities for your birthday party or business team building event. We teach a variety of weaving techniques, from learning how to weave on an inkle loom (and making your own dog leashes, bag straps, guitar straps or shoe laces) to tapestry, rock weaving, branch weaving and pin loom weaving. We are passionate about planet earth and all its beings, and we include natural plant materials in our creations wherever possible. Participants leave with a rekindled love of nature, and handmade items to take home.
You will not only learn a new skill and gain a new circle of friends, but also having learned a lot more about yourself and being more able to transform your circumstances.

A bit more about myself:

I am a weaver, yogi and spiritual teacher. After more than 20 years in the finance industry, I finally managed to break free from my accounting job. My passion for creating started at a very young age, and I was fortunate enough to be able to spend time in the picturesque Franschhoek and mountainous Robertson, to hone my weaving and yogic skills.

Today I present 1-day classes where we learn a variety of techniques. From how to create dog leashes or bag straps, beach sandals, guitar straps, baskets, jewellery, land based art- to name a few. These classes are excellent as a team building activity as well. The weekend retreats cater for artists and non-artists alike. No previous weaving experience is required, but existing fibre artists are also welcome to bring their projects for a day of creating together.

My workshops provide opportunities for people to connect with likeminded individuals and learn a new skill. Also to connect with, examine and strengthen the Self. The weekend workshops take place in Johannesburg and in the Western Cape, and include a big chunk of forest bathing, dancing, journaling and sitting in the shadows of old oak trees, listening to each other’s stories. And of course, swimming in the eco pool in summer. In an increasingly fragmented world, we need to know and feel that we are supported and loved, and have a right to be here on this planet at this particular point in time. And that we CAN make a difference!

If weaving, dancing, a bit of yoga and a lot of loving and being in nature, sparks your interest, you are in the right place! Keep an eye on this group to hear about upcoming events or contact me on 0817454551 to discuss any specific needs.
