Weaving from Waste with Maria Sigma

A taster of Maria’s upcoming Create Academy weaving course set to launch in Spring ‘23, this 2-hour workshop offers an intensive grounding in hand-weaving, teaching you the basics of frame weaving and how you can turn your household waste textiles into woven masterpieces.

You will learn foundational weaving skills (such as warping), patterns, and finishing techniques. The aim of the class is not only to cover a range of styles, but also to encourage students to develop their own distinctive voice as a weaver. You can make a small wall hanging, pieces for a patchwork, a phone case or an abstract artwork (to name but a few) – let your imagination run wild!

A wooden frame loom and weaving tools are included for students to take home. Materials and yarns will be also provided, but feel free to bring your own textiles/clothes to recycle and weave (tablecloths, bed sheets, pillowcases and t-shirts, or materials such as yarns, ribbons and strings).
