Talk: Krokbragd with Angie Parker

Krokbragd is a Norwegian weaving technique that Angie specializes in.
Angie is a weaver, designer and colourist based in Bristol. After being taught rug weaving at art college in the 1990’s, she pursued a career in costume for a number of years whilst continuing to weave on small scale collections. During this time she developed the original style for which she has become known since setting up her business.

With a stack of handwoven krokbragd samples and slides Angie will talk you through the processes of her weaving and design and she will explain the technical intricacies of the technique she has been addicted to for over thirty years.

She will be talking about the ups and downs of setting up in business around a young family in a challenging marketplace. She’ll also cover pushing out of your comfort zone and colour confidence, though uplifting colourful woven textiles. There will be a slide show and samples of Angie’s trademark woven textiles on display, plus a Q&A session at the end.
