The recorded workshop will be available to watch for six months after the workshop takes place. If you are unable to attend the workshop you will have access to the playback. Why weave tiny tapestries? Let me tell you!Tiny tapestries can be made in to magnets, pins, patches, tiny wall hangings and whatever else your imagination can dream up.
