Tutor: Kirsty Odds
Classes will be held on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11am-1:30pm.
8 weeks from week beginning 09/01/23. No classes 15/02 and 16/02.
Weaving is on the first floor of the Mill building.
This class is suitable for all weaving abilities as projects can be tailored to individual students.
For those people who are beginners or relatively new to weaving this term we will be learning how to set up a 4-shaft loom. This class will guide weavers through the stages of how to prepare the loom for weaving as we set up a project, such as a scarf or cushion cover. (This would also be suitable for weavers who have been weaving on a rigid heddle loom who would like to learn how to use a 4-shaft loom).
For those weavers with more experience, who would like to increase their knowledge of weave and design in a supportive environment, the class tutor can assist weavers in learning and experimenting with different weave structures and yarns or help support you as you undertake your own weaving projects. (This term a few looms in the weaving room will be set up with threading for Krokbragd for those interested in leaning this weaving technique).
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.
