Ever wondered what “tapestry” really means? It may sound elaborate, but at its core it’s simply a form of weaving made for expression. Think of it as a grid of vertical (warp) and horizontal (weft) threads on a loom, coming together to create colour shifts, patterns and intricate detailing. That creative freedom, unlike traditional weaving, is what made tapestries so valued through history often displayed in royal halls as symbols of skill and status.
Step into this age-old craft tradition with us - learn the basics of tapestry weaving, experiment with different materials and create your own handwoven piece with guided support from an expert. Along the way, discover how the threads, colours and textures you weave come together to form something personal and rooted in a larger weaving heritage.

What's a 'Trove Experience’
As our cities swell, we tend to do fewer and repetitive things for recreation. With Trove, you get to break the monotony and explore fresh activities in your city, meet like-minded souls, and develop a deeper appreciation for the finer things.
Most of us likely resonate with terms like 'workshops' or 'events.’ What makes these an 'experience' is the energies we put into scouring the right artists, creators and storytellers, to ensure that each Trove Experience leaves you enriched with meaningful moments to collect for your very own treasure trove.
