Weekend Weave Class
Please use the booking form below to book a place on the Weekend Weave Classes.
-
Once you have signed up for a class you will automatically receive a password protected link to a range of instructional films, 14 in total, which you will have access to before, during and after the workshop as a visual aid of each of the process involved in producing a beautiful and wearable cloth on a foldable 4 shaft Ashford table loom. These films will detail the processes covered in the workshop and some, including warp preparation, stretching & winding the warp, threading the heddles and reed, tying on the warp and some top tips on the actual weaving process itself. Everything required to make beautiful cloth!
As with all classes within the PickOne Studios, all materials and equipment are provided as part of the costs, and the classes suit both beginners and those with previous weave experience.
An additional e mail will be sent out to you automatically on the Wednesday and Friday prior to your chosen weave class with a loose time table of events over weekend and further instruction on how to get to the PickOne studio.
There are three entry levels for the Weekend Weave Classes, which are as follows -
Complete beginners will explore producing a basic fabric, such as a twill or dog tooth cheque using a straight draft.
Those returning can explore weave structures such as birds eye twills with a pointed draft.
For those wishing to explore the full potential of weaving with 4 shafts fabric such as overshot structures using a block draft can be explored to really develop a sense of pattern making using warp and weft.
Please contact me directly if you would like to book in for 3 weekends to experience all three of these exciting weave structures, booking in for three weekends will unlock a 10% discount of the total cost. Please use contact me directly rather than choosing multiple “appointments” below.
Please note that at the end of the workshop you will take away the loom and yarn supplies to complete your project. Completing normally takes an additional five or six hours, including cutting off. Dates/times will be given as to when the looms and yarn supplies must be returned in time for the next workshop. If it is not possible for you to take the loom away at the end of the workshop, additional monies, £70, can be paid to complete your project on the Monday within the PickOne studio. This additional cost can be made on the day by bank transfer. If this is something that would suit advanced notice of a month must be given to secure this time.
Instruction will also be given on how to fold up/reassemble your loom at the end of the class as well as a follow up email sent the week after detailing the finishing off of your piece.
