Nikki has been running workshops for adults and children for 25 years. Her focus now is on sharing her own love of spinning and weaving for mental health. Hand spinning and weaving is a very sensory process. Workshops include using natural fibres from locally sourced wool to finest merino, with a wide range of colours and textures for people to enjoy.
