Stratford-upon-Avon Guild of Weavers Spinners and Dyers

Free Expression and Rigid Heddle Weaving  In this interactive 'Getting Better At' session Clare will share her approach to Free Play on a rigid heddle loom and beyond............... and we’ll all be able to have a go ... both on and off a loom. Those of you who have seen Clare's work will know how exciting her textures and colours can be as shown here in the photographs. To bring with you if you can: Rigid Heddle Loom: If you have a rigid heddle loom of any type that’s between projects, please bring it along warped up. Don’t worry about epi, wpi, sett or colour matching. The warp can be anything that goes through the slots and holes, is strong enough not to snap, not too sticky, and that won’t abrade too much. We’ll also have some of the guild looms available.   Scrap Bag: it would be great to share a variety of ‘stuff’ to play with (and perhaps do some swops for taking home), scraps of coloured roving, locks, ribbon and tape, warp waste ends, novelty yarn...
