Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have a venue?

Even though we try to take care of absolutely everything for you and your event, there are a few things we need from you: 1. A venue. This can be indoor or outdoor (just remember rain and wind are not friends with wool!). We will travel within the Greater Sydney area. If your event is out of this area, you may incur a travel fee. 2. Table and chairs for your guests. Everyone will need to be seated and have table space on which to work, to ensure they create the most spectacular wall hanging they can. Don't have a venue? No worries, chat to us about possible locations we can recommend around Sydney.



What if I don't have 8 people?

That's OK - but we do have a minimum fee of $560.



What areas do you come to?

I can come pretty much anywhere in Greater Sydney. Does that include you? Here's a map.



We have weavers of varying levels. Will this workshop be appropriate?

Yes absolutely, we can cater for all ability levels.



Is 3 hours enough time to finish a piece?

In general, 3 hours is plenty of time ... unless you get completely distracted by party festivities! We will help anyone who is struggling but it's up to each individual weaver to finish their piece.



How does the communal weaving work?

We will bring an extra large loom and enough yarn to go around. We'll set up a space where people can gather and contribute a bit at a time. In the end, many pairs of hands will have worked to create one single large woven wall hanging. This package really is a beautiful and special gift, made and woven with love.



How do I book?

Just contact Jess via jess@therovingartisan.com.au.



Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, a non-refundable booking fee of 30% is required to secure your date. This amount will be taken from your balance, which is payable 7 days prior to your event.



Do you require extra time for set up and clean up?

Yes, we like to have 30 minutes before your workshop starts to enable us to set up a wonderful space for you and your guests. We will try and get out of your hair as quickly as possible after the event but may take up to 30 minutes to clean up at the completion of the workshop.



Do I need any previous experience?

Nope!
