Tools and Equipment: All necessary tools and equipment for the workshop are provided. Scandi-style snacks and drinks are provided, as is a nice bit of chit-chat. No prior experience is needed, just nimble fingers! Absolute beginners welcome. Some extra details: this activity is delivered by me, Charlotte Cochrane. Stool size: 470mm x 350mm x 355mm.

Twisted Loom was founded by me, Charlotte Cochrane, in Manchester, UK. I love crafting and making, and have won two Designer-Maker awards that I'm very proud of. I initially worked as an upholsterer and also created original pieces of furniture, lighting and cushions. After years of standing back and thinking 'I made that', I now want you to have the same happy feeling of making something stylish and high-quality. I began by designing a small Danish cord stool, reminiscent of the well-known mid-century Danish designs that are so classic and everlasting in their style. The finished product is beautiful and looks amazing in any home!
