A Taste of Tapestry - Adult Weaving Workshop
Advertisement
Learn the art of tapestry weaving, one of the oldest forms of woven textiles. Traditionally created in silk, wool, and linen, the simple techniques of weaving shape and form have remained unchanged.
This workshop introduces you to the fundamentals of woven tapestry while creating a small landscape-inspired piece. Guided by Lucy, you will learn how to form simple shapes using interlocks, hatching, and angling techniques, before blending subtle tones to weave your own blended sky.
By the end of the session, you will have created your own mini weft-faced tapestry, while enjoying the meditative rhythms and creative possibilities of tapestry.
This workshop is ideal for complete beginners, as well as those with some weaving experience looking to further their skills.
All materials and equipment are provided with looms prepared in advance so you can concentrate on weaving. Materials include a large selection of coloured wools to choose from, allowing your own colour palette.
Please note we will break for a half hour lunch and stretch.
No weaving experience is needed. For adults and ages 16+
