Learn how to weave traditional and more experimental tapestry. Beginners will learn to weave with a small sampler and then progress to creating tapestries of their own design. You will learn both traditional and more experimental techniques and will have the opportunity to experiment with a wide range of materials.
Learn how to weave by creating your own small sampler, progress to weaving a tapestry of your own design and be inspired by discovering the work of traditional and contemporary weaving. Handouts on techniques or particular forms of weaving are supplied.
No previous experience of tapestry is necessary but an interest in drawing or design is helpful.
