Tapestry weaving - Introduction to studio practice

Aimed at weavers who have completed a beginners course and are looking to extend their practice by committing to an extended and intensive programme of study.

The study program runs from January to September and consists of 5 x 2-day workshops, delivering 8 creative projects covering weaving techniques, design development and project planning. Between each workshop you will be expected to commit to a period of guided and self-directed study through a series of projects. The course will encourage you to follow your own line of research and enquiry, developing a body of visual research in both design and weaving techniques.

On completion of the course, you will have a greater insight into the creative process, from research and design, to building a wider range of tapestry skills. You will have the opportunity to plan a personal tapestry project to be completed over the summer months.
