Colour into weave

Join Amanda to learn how to make a sample of woven fabric on a weave card.

What will you learn?

Exploration of colour and weave structure to create a colourful patterned piece. You may not finish your piece during the workshop but you will learn all the techniques to finish it in your own time.

Your weave card can be reused to make further weaving samples at home.

The techniques learnt can also be transferred to visible mending projects.

What do you need to bring?

Nothing, all materials and equipment will be provided.

Our tutor Amanda

I studied textile design at university and worked as a textiles teacher in secondary education for over 30 years. During this time, I completed part time courses in embroidery and fashion design. I’ve co-authored two textiles books for students and provided training sessions for textile teachers. A wide range of different textile techniques inspire my work. Currently I’m enjoying producing experimental woven fabrics on an ancient 4 shaft floor loom.
