Creative Textiles: Friday 22nd to Monday 25th May 2009

 

Learn how to create decorative textile surfaces from scratch in 2 and 3 dimensions without a loom.  Using minimal equipment you will be introduced to construction techniques such as wrapping and binding, twining, coiling and knotting working with a wide range of textile associated materials and fibres.

Initially you will be encouraged to create a collection of how to do it samplers to gain confidence with each of the techniques demonstrated to you. Moving on you will be given the opportunity to making a small vessel or pouch to contain or protect a personal treasure, which could be worn, carried or hung in the home.  For example an old book, a letter, a stone or piece of driftwood or a childhood keepsake.

Please contact the venue directly for further details, enrolment and course costs.
