These classes are suitable for all levels.  Beginners and members newer to weaving will be supported in their learning of how to set up a 4-shaft loom and in creating their own weaving project. 

More experienced weavers may wish to expand in their knowledge, there are some 8-shaft looms for those that want to increase structure and pattern possibilities. If there are any particular structures class members would like to learn can they please contact the tutor a couple of weeks before the start of term to allow notes to be prepared.  

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.
