Weaving is an ancient method of interlacing threads to create useful and beautiful cloth, and one of humanity’s oldest art forms. In this 4-hour workshop, you’ll learn all the basics of weaving on a frame loom with beautiful natural fibres:
Slow down and gather around the wood stove with a small group of kindred spirits for an afternoon of craft and companionship. Leave with your own woven creation – a treasure to keep or a beautiful gift for someone you love.
- choosing yarns for tension, composition and colour
- setting the loom
- using key techniques, including twining stitch, tabby weave, soumak stitch and raya knot
- tying off and finishing your weaving.
