Linen Workshop

Well, July  has been and gone with nothing for me to 'show and tell' which is somewhat unusual for me. However I do have a book of woven linen samples and workshop notes prepared for a workshop I took for the Wellington Creative Fibre Area. It was just a one day workshop but took me weeks to prepare!  It was a good day with nine weavers and ten looms in action from 9am till 5pm. Everyone seemed to be happy at the end, including me. Here are some pics.

Note all the neat hemstitching! Ten out of ten everyone!

Warping Week!

The past week has been spent preparing for a weavers' workshop next weekend.  Each warp is a gamp of some sort . . . twill and colour-and-weave predominate.  Drafts are sorted and warps are wound. All I need to do now is prepare the paperwork and get copies made.  Who knows what will emerge from this lot but I am looking forward to it.  Here are the 'surprise packages' waiting for the weavers.

This one is a colour blending exercise . . . it took the longest!
