Create your own tapestry inspired by wattles with expert Valerie Kirk!This tapestry workshop concentrates on looking at wattle as an inspiration for tapestry design and weaving. The complicated form of the plant will be simplified through the design process to make a cartoon as a guide. Beginners will warp up a small loom and learn the basic techniques of flat and cut pile tapestry weaving, moving on to weave a simple design with variations of colours in the weft. Experienced weavers will design and weave their small tapestry focusing on blending colours and tone in the weft, flat and cut pile weave. Advanced techniques and problem solving will be covered. The beginners’ and advanced students’ tapestries will be cut off the loom and finished off to display.
Dates: 5 - 26 September 2024
