This course is an introduction to the wonderful craft of woven tapestry.  Using landscapes and seascapes for design inspiration, students will learn traditional, simple and basic tapestry weaving techniques to create a small woven tapestry.

Following a brief introduction to weaving, I will show everyone how to put a cotton warp on a frame loom, demonstrate several simple weaving techniques and show how to colour blend wefts with wool yarns.

All materials will be provided and instructions and support given throughout the session.  Please bring along your own image of a landscape or seascape, or you can use the ones provided.  No experience necessary.  Beginners and experienced tapestry weavers are welcome.
