I offer workshops exploring weave structure, material, colour and process for guilds, groups and individual learners.
AN INTRODUCTION TO WEAVINGThe 'Introduction to Weaving' workshop is for absolute beginners and is designed to give you a taste of the endless possibilities of loom weaving. The workshop will begin with the very basics and will take you through the sequence of stages to start weaving independently. These include selecting and designing a warp, understanding the process of getting a loom ready to weave and beginning to weave and experiment on the loom.
All day session - £80
DRESSING YOUR LOOM This workshop is designed to take you through the stages of preparing a warp to dressing a loom. There will be advice on selecting warp yarns, calculating sett and warping the loom from back to front. Learn how to tackle this essential skill with hands-on help and on one of my studio's table looms. All equipment and materials are provided, however if you would like to use your own loom, please let me know in advance.
All day session - £80
THINKING THROUGH WEAVEExploring design for weave through drawing, composition and sampling. I offer two workshops which can be booked as stand alone or as a pair.
