SUMMARY:November Meeting 2017
DESCRIPTION:Have-a-go Day: Needle Felting with Catharine Smith and Caroline Goss. \nWe will be showing you how to use a special kind of needle to felt a 3D sheep face onto a base which can be used to decorate a bag or hat and can also be made into a brooch.  There is no need for any previous experience in needle felting.  All materials for doing this will be provided and it is not difficult to learn!  The backing is made from Herdwick fleece felted onto a circle of pre-felt and then the sheep head is sculpted on to it with white fleece to give a 3D result.  Detail is then added to make the eyes and if desired a mouth.

SUMMARY:July Meeting 2017
DESCRIPTION:My Journey with Textiles \nwith Rod Owen. \nRod Owen will be visiting us to share his passion for Japanese and Peruvian textiles.  Rod is an absolute expert in this field\, having published a number of books\, with another in the offing. \nThere are now some exciting additions to the July meeting programme.  Firstly\, Rod will be demonstrating in the morning\, prior to his talk\, so do come along early to see braiding in practice.  Secondly\, he is bringing his co-author\, Terry Flynn\, along to join him for the demonstration and talk.  Terry hails from the USA; she creates garments and sculptures that combine her interest in weaving\, Andean and Japanese braiding\, and knitting.  Terry discovered a love of teaching while giving classes at the Weaver’s Place\, a shop she later owned from 1989–2000.  During this time\, she taught beginning and intermediate weaving\, and garment design.  Terry began studying takadai braids (flat braids made on the bias) with Rod in 1994.  She collaborated with Rod on various projects\, including proofing his pattern instructions and contributing some of her own to his book Making Kumihimo\, Japanese Interlaced Braids (2004).  Over the years\, Terry has taught weaving and braiding locally\, for various guilds\, and at regional and international conferences. \nI am sure an enthralling and fascinating day is guaranteed!

SUMMARY:October Meeting 2016
DESCRIPTION:Have-a-go Day – Weft faced weaving on a rigid heddle loom \nA change to our published programme. \nExperiment with weft faced weaving on a rigid heddle loom under Angela’s guidance. The warp is set at about 4 threads an inch and so the weft completely covers it.  You can either use two or three  strands of yarn to weave a simple scene or two thicker yarns in contrasting colours to weave a mat with stripes and/or spots. Angela  will focus on weaving scenes in the morning and patterns in the afternoon. She will bring weft yarns but you might like to bring your own. Home dyed yarns which are not dyed evenly give good results for landscapes or seascapes. \nAngela will be bringing some looms with her\, already warped up\, so that members can “have-a-go”!
