The out come from this 5 hour day is to leave with a basic understanding of
weaving.
The looms will already be threaded with a plain warp ready for you to
weave on. The processes of loom preparation will be briefly explained.
You will be taught basic weave structures that you can explore, whilst
weaving with a variety of different weft yarns. *If you wish to weave with
your own yarn, please bring it along with you*
Your technical woven samples, created throughout day will cut off the
looms for you to take home. You can keep these as momentos, depending
on how fast you pick weaving you be able to use these samples as wall
hangings, a table runner or turn them in to a small pencil case or purse if
you are a keen sewer.
You will weave the majority of your samples on a 4 shaft table loom.
There may be the option to weave on a 4 shaft floor loom and, depending
on the stage of my manufacturing, experience weaving on my main Dobby
loom. *Please note that the woven piece from the table loom will be yours
to take home*
Most importantly the day will be relaxed, working at your pace developing
your creativity through weaving.
Please bring a notebook & pen and a pack lunch with you, a kettle will be
available.
