Modern Weaving: Make a wallhanging

You will learn how to set up your loom, make knots to start and end your weaving and use your tools. You will play with texture and colour through different techniques including Rya knots (Tassels), twining, soumak, and how to add a 3D sculptural element to your weaving.

You will go away from the class confident to set up and weave on your own and with your own hand-woven wall hanging in hand ready to put up in your home or give away as a generous handmade gift! There will be a chance to buy the loom you are working on at the end of the class, made by a local woodworker in Ericiera.

Amy will provide everything that you will need to have a ready to hang Wall Hanging apart from scissors, please bring your own. If you do have a favourite yarn also bring!

Amy has been weaving for 6 years now and is interested in large scale interior pieces. She weaves on various tapestry and lap looms and also floor and table cloth looms and is happy to talk about any of your queries about weaving and life!

She is very interested in wellbeing and how craft affects emotional health positively, slowing down in a fast world.
