Land Marks
Weaving with Natural Threads
Description
In this tapestry weaving workshop participants will draw inspiration from the land, creating mark’s associated with it through the use of natures materials. These will include natural wool from rare breeds like Shetland, Black Welsh Mountain, Manx Loaghan, Jacob and many others, and/or a selection of natural linen threads. Participants can choose from a wool or linen warp, and can explore pattern making and surface decoration that respond to these individual yarn types. Techniques explored will include half passes (pick ‘n’ pick), textural techniques, including looping, random and regular passes over the surface of the tapestry and lots more. All the materials and equipment required will be provided, however you are welcome to bring your own weaving materials. Students will work on pre-warped frames, provided by the tutor.
