peg loom weaving...


...course
great fun and learning had by all during my course on how to weave using a peg loom

held at The Quercus Rooms in Carmarthen, a lovely venue for all things creative

my students started by 'warping up' their looms

and then learnt how to weave lovely carded Jacob wool through the oak pegs of their looms, then on to the warp
the end results were fantastic
all making for a great mornings work
thank you for such a super day

cake, tea and coffee helped concentration...

weather was not so great for an outdoor event but with so many amazing people in one space we all had a great time
I made a wood stool with Rich the bodger and a tension tray with Sarah the willow weaver

so many skilled folk
met the lovely Lou Tonkin and Francesca Kay, both featured here
a felt artist and a poet...fabulous
