There’s something so calming and joyful about working with fibre and yarn, it’s soothing to the soul. The tactile quality of it in your hands, the dance the colours create when they are interwoven and blended. I call my style of weaving “art weaving” because to me it is creating an artwork with fibre.

There’s something so calming and joyful about working with fibre and yarn, it’s soothing to the soul. The tactile quality of it in your hands, the dance the colours create when they are interwoven and blended. I call my style of weaving “art weaving” because to me it is creating an artwork with fibre.
Working like this is a purely intuitive process, no set plan, make it up as you go along…that’s the joy of it.

What supplies will I need for the class?
The items below are what I have used in this class. There are options to make your own loom.
SUPPLIES LIST
- Weaving loom – mine is 35x45cm (14” x 18”) – (try to get one with a “rotating heddle bar” it makes weaving much easier)
If you want to try making your own simple loom (I have a video on how to do this in the class) you will need:
-
-
- Stretched artist canvas with 2” sides (remove the canvas and use the wooden frame)
- Pin board “push pins”
-
- Weaving needle (I will show you how you can make one if you don’t have one)
