BARE Weaving Co-Founders, Katie Rydge and Ingrid Riverstone have been super excited to be offering this extended weaving program over the past 5 years. However over the 2026 period they will be taking a break in order to Re Imagine how the Immersion may be more attainable to a wider group of women. If the following speaks to you, do express your interest and we’ll be in contact with how the next iteration of the BARE Weaving Year Long Immersion is evolving!

Through this training you will deepen your understanding of place through learning a broad range of global weaving techniques, as applied to your local native fibres and eco dyes.
This training is ideal for you if you ready to embody your own unique weaving style and explore weaving as an ancient craft.

If you are also keen to teach after this year-long immersion you will also gain an understanding of how to holistically teach successful weaving experiences.

To apply you need to have already attended a BARE Weaving Retreat, hold a desire to teach weaving in your local area and/or be an active weaver or string maker keen to seriously advance your skills.

Immersion begins in February 2026 in a private event incorporating the 2025 Immersion Graduation Ceremony

Participation is via an APPLICATION PROCESS
