Weaving
This in depth two day workshop is designed especially for complete beginners who wish to get started in the craft of weaving, including how to set up a loom. It is also suitable for anyone returning to weaving who wants a refresher.
You will weave samples of a range of looms pre-warped in different materials, selecting your choice of weft and colour. You will also make a warp and put it on a loom with the help of your experienced tutor, Charlotte. She brings 30 years of weaving wisdom and 15 years of teaching beginners to guide you through each step.
You will learn:
  • How to make a warp
  • How to dress the loom
  • Basic weaving patterns and structures
  • How different threading patterns effect the woven cloth
Each day starts at 10am and finishes at Tea and coffee will be provided.

I studied weave design, gaining my degree in the early 1990's and later went on to get an MA in textile arts. I enjoy the process, starting with a collection of threads through to seeing the weaving grow on the loom. There are so many options with shaft weaving and I love experimenting with a range of materials and weave structures.
I have been teaching for almost 20 years and love watching students grow in experience, knowledge and confidence.
