Tapestry Workshop at The BACH, March 2013

Here's a few photos of a workshop held 

at the BACH to "wet your appetite"

The "warps" ..metres and meters of this thread

from Sweden, anxiously awaiting the "wefts"

Jackie Addenbrook explaining how

the Tapestry weaving is done

People from the Working Community and

Creative Fibre Weaving group at the workshop

Beautifully (hand turned?) wooden bobbins.

These have been donated for use

by the creative Fibre Group.

Jackie (on right) explaining how weaving works.

The Story board...lots of information about the history of weaving,

the inspiration for the project, making the loom, selecting the fleece etc

Beverly demonstrates how to secure

the wool when you've finished weaving

for the time being. It then hangs,

suspended for the next weaver...

Listening attentively to instructions

and learning weaving techniques.

Watching Beverly using one of the "Give it a go" looms..

 Then others were invited to "Give it a Go"

What a great sense of community!
