Off-loom weaving workshops (online) |
Learn to weave off-loom using industry waste yarn, a piece of wood and a needle and thread. This online workshop is an opportunity to take a moment to celebrate woven cloth, and the structures used to create it. Using a needle and thread, beginners can get to grips with the basics of weaving without the complexity of the loom. We’ll weave twills, herringbones, dog-tooths and hopsacks, and by the end of the workshop participants will have three artworks to display in their home, plus the knowledge to try their own designs. Participants will learn about the history of the fabrics they are weaving, and why it’s important to challenge the mentality around fast fashion. Through these weavings, we’ll re-familiarise ourselves with the human input that goes into our clothing, and the skill, patience and craftsmanship of the makers. |
