Description
Come and spend a day creating your your own experimental weaving in a converted barn at the gorgeous Ceridwen Centre, a peaceful and relaxing eco events centre on an organic farm. You will learn the basics of weaving, as well as have the opportunity to learn a variety of weaving techniques and to practice them on a simple table-top wooden frame loom, using a bodkin needle to weave with. This will be a day of building up colour, tone and texture and you will come away with your own hand made creative weaving, which you can display as a wall hanging.
What's included in the price?
There will be pieces of driftwood for you to choose from to hang your weaving on, or you may like to beach comb for your own. All materials will be provided, including coloured yarn, some of it from local Welsh sheep, as well as interesting threads, ribbon, wool tops and recycled fabrics to choose from and incorporate into your weaving. There will also be mixed media such as beads, buttons and shells to add and you are welcome to bring any of your own favourite wool, threads, etc. There will be plenty of visual resources to help inspire you, including imagery by other weavers. You will be given an information sheet with some historical context and weaving terminology, as well as links to weaving resources. Refreshments and a delicious organic lunch are all-inclusive in the ticket price. Please state any dietary requirements when you make your booking, you can get in touch via the 'message the tutor' button. There is accommodation at the venue, which you will need to book directly with them, if you would like to stay over.
