This workshop will introduce participants to gentle, mindful hand-weaving to create a unique artwork to take home.
Taking the circle as a main focus, participants will work on specially made wooden circular looms to explore the method of weaving in a spiral form, taking inspiration from natural forms which offer the perfect subjects for this aesthetic; the layers of a moss-and-twig nest, the curving spirals of a sea shell, the shining magic of a spider’s web.
Using an inspiring selection of yarns from Imogen’s workshop, including wild silk, hand-spun nettle, hand-dyed British wool and Japanese metal-embroidery threads.
This event is a creative pause to allow your hands to work on something inspiring, in a calm and exploratory setting.
