Saturday 11th September to Sunday 12th September
Peg looms and weaving sticks are two
simple types of loom but they are also very
versatile. You can make big chunky mats
on a peg loom but also produce quite fine,
decorative work incorporating the weaving
techniques used on more traditional looms.
Students will start by making a bag while
learning about the warp and weft and trying
out a variety of materials. Later they will
learn to make patterns and pictures using
hatching and shading. It is possible to make
all kinds of shapes on these looms, circles,
triangles and tubes and weaving is quite
fast. Students can expect to complete 2 or
3 items.
The tutor will bring looms for students to use
on the course. She will also bring a range of
materials for sale. A materials list will be sent out
to students.

CAROLINE MARRIOTT started
her textile career crotcheting stripey
jumpers for fellow students at
university. She went on to do a
teacher training course and for
many years combined working in
school with developing her own
work. She enjoys playing with
colour and uses stitch, weaving and
rag rugging in her work. All of these
involve the use of a wide variety of
materials and a very large palette.
