Weaving Basics

‘Weaving Basics’ is a new, two day, 1:2:1 course covering everything you need to get started with your loom. We go through the process of planning for and setting up a project on a four or eight shaft table loom. 
Covering techniques such as;
Note taking
Designing a warp
Making a warp
Choosing a warp yarn
Warp weight and length
Fabric sett
Shrinkage
Sorting the shafts
Designing a threading pattern
Warping a loom
Threading a loom
Tying on a warp
Working out tension issues
Working out issues with the cross
Following a weaving pattern
With a mix of practical, hands on learning and detailed notes, you should leave the studio ready to not only start weaving straight away but also prepared with all the knowledge you need for future weaving projects.
All equipment and materials are provided but you are also more than welcome to bring your own loom along to set up so it will be ready to go once you get it home. 
Dates are flexible and can be arranged to suit, contact lucy@arratextiles.co.uk to arrange.
