Weaving on the Wild Side Workshop
Join Patty and I on a journey through colour and texture as we explore the possibilities for creating adventurous, colourful, challenging, engaging, and texture-full weavings!
Free form weaving leaves behind the idea of complexity, counting, repetitive patterns and perfect warping. You will be amazed at how easy it is to make beautiful fabrics that allow your yarns the freedom to express your creativity for you.
During the day we will demonstrate and practice different ways of warping the looms, we will work on design; colour and texture choices and how they will work in your weaving. Patty is here to answer all your technical questions about the looms and practical issues with setting them up. She will also show you some really cool things like how
to add supplimental warps and tapestry techniques.Suzy will work with you on inspiration, spinning for weaving, and creating yarns that will work well in both warp and weft. She will also demonstrate and share ways of adding to your weaving with embellishments, shaping and sculpting your fabric, and creating interesting shapes and designs with texture.We will also share information and ideas about using your woven fabrics, cutting and stitching to make clothing and accessories that are totally unique! This workshop is suitable for both beginner and more advanced weavers.
