Wednesday Weaving Class

 This class is suitable for those weavers with more experience, who would like to increase their knowledge of weave and design in a supportive environment.  This term the focus will be on learning about double weave cloth.  Members will be introduced to a number of types of double weave sample warps on our new 8-shaft looms and over the course of the term will produce a collection of samples with accompanying notes.

 There will be an additional yarn fee of £5.

Thursday Weaving Class 

11am-1:30pm

 This class is suitable for those people who are relatively new to weaving.  Members will consolidate their learning of how to set up a 4-shaft loom and be supported in creating their own weaving project.

 There are some 4-shaft and 8-shaft looms available to use but pupils are also welcome to use their own looms.

Yarn can be purchased from the weaving room for an additional cost of £5/project or people can source their own materials which the class tutor is happy to advise on.

 

Kirsty is a handweaver who completed a diploma at Handweaver’s Studio, London.She works from her garden studio in Aberlady as Hopipola Handwovens creating fresh, contemporary pieces predominantly for use in interiors and accessories on traditional looms.
 
The seasons are often reflected in her work, whether influencing colours, textures or yarns.  Come spring, the bright, light airiness that flourishes tends to prompt her to play with a brighter colour palette, giving rise to joyful fabrics.
