Summer Workshops
Why not learn the art of weaving and join us on the Wednesday Weaving Workshops from 7-9pm.
We shall look at examples of braiding and the different methods of creating braids. Using a warping mill and your choice of colours you will be shown how to make a warp. You will make the device to weave with and learn how to manipulate the threads to make sophisticated patterns. Finally we shall make a fringe.
Using a box loom and fabric bits and pieces I’ll show you how to weave a beautiful wall hanging cascading with colour. We shall look at examples of weaving. You will learn how to make a heddle and how to thread up a box loom. This method is suitable to use with high school students. We shall arrange the colours and weave them using various techniques. Finally we shall fringe the woven hanging.
