Weaving Course,

run by Amy of Liliane Design Studio


Session 1 - 18th January 2018

I learned a lot about different looms,

began to understand how multiple shafts work,

had a go at stripes, and discovered, at first hand, the downside of taking the weft up the side when changing colours (those right-hand threads need cutting and weaving in, rather than carrying all 4 colours up the side),

and was impressed by the evidence of many years of experience in the exhibits

and samples around the room.

After the session, I popped into the guild meeting to collect my membership card. There I met this fabulous bear

and took a picture of Hilary's lovely, woven, plaid shawl. Note the V-shape at the top of the shawl as well as the bottom
