SUMMARY:November Workshop 2023
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Woolen Preparation and Longdraw Spinning with James Perry aka Longdraw James \nJames will cover the basis of a woollen yarn and will discuss differences between these and worsted yarns. He will then discuss carding technique before discussing the longdraw spinning technique itself. We will spin from rolags and a couple of other preparations and fibres before looking into plying\, discussing how much Ply twist is enough. Finally we will look at finishing woollen yarns. \nExperience level needed: ideally attendees need to be able to consistently spin and ply. They don’t need to be super experienced or experts\, beginner is fine\, but it need to be able to comfortably spin and ply yarn.

SUMMARY:October Meeting 2024
DESCRIPTION:Talk: Textiles and Clothing in London 1150-1450 with Frances Pritchard  \nAmong the most evocative items to be discovered by archaeologists are the scraps of silk and wool and other fabrics that signal so eloquently their owner’s status and concerns. Such clothing and textile finds have figured prominently in excavations of medieval sites in London; they have included knitting\, tapestries\, silk hair-nets and elaborately patterned oriental\, Islamic and Italian fabrics\, which reveal for the first time the wide range of cloths available to medieval Londoners; there are beautifully made buttons\, and buttonholes and edgings which display superb craftsmanship and a high level of needlework skills; the way that clothes were cut and sewn can be studied in detail. This account should be of wide general interest; dress historians and archaeologists will also find a wealth of new insights into the fashions\, clothing and textile industries of medieval England and Europe. \nFrances Pritchard is Curator (Textiles) at the Whitworth Art Gallery\, University of Manchester. \nPlus all the usuals – Show & Tell\, Sales Table\, and afternoon cake.

SUMMARY:May Meeting 2025
DESCRIPTION:Talk: Krokbragd with Angie Parker \nKrokbragd is a Norwegian weaving technique that Angie specializes in.\nAngie 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. \nWith 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. \nShe 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.
