"Clasped Weft Weaving"
Farfield Mill
Sedbergh
Clasped weft is a brilliant technique to learn even if you only have a basic rigid heddle loom as it enables you to have two colours across the width of the loom. However in this workshop we will be able to combine twill patterns on a 4 shaft table loom to create a unique woven piece. This will suit beginners and weavers wanting to develop their skills further, as Jan will show you how to manipulate the weft thread within the structure. The looms will be set up and ready to go on the day
To book, cost £70 plus £5 on the day for materials.
