Weaving is a method of textile production consisting of two distinct sets of yarn - the warp and the weft - which are interlocked to form a stable piece of fabric or cloth. Tapestry is a form fo woven textile art traditionally made on a vertical loom, and is made for creative or aesthetic display purposes. This workshop will introduce participants to the basic techniques of weaving on small tapestry looms. Students will be shown various weaving stitches in order to create their own tapestry creations. In compliance with Workshop Health & Safety regulations, all participants must bring their own aprons and wear closed-in shoes.
Tea and coffee will be provided. |
