Modern Stool Weaving Techniques - 3 Different Patterns

Tutor: Em James, Emelye James Creative Studio

In this session, craft workshop tutor, Em James from Emelye James Creative Studio in Cardiff teaches us the art of modern stool weaving.

She walks us through selecting the right materials, following a pattern, and choosing the tools needed for each step of the process. While weaving an entire stool can take a few hours, Em expertly demonstrates every stage, showing you how to create your very own stool at home from start to finish.
