Learning to Weave - Laura's Visit

Image
On the 30th October, we travelled to Carlisle and met the participants from the Creative Conversations group at Prism Arts again. Laura from Laura's Looms, who runs a small business at Farfield Mill came to tell us about her business and to teach us how to weave. She gave us all a cardboard loom and showed us how to weave with different coloured yarns. It was tricky as we had not used a cardboard loom before, especially when we got to the end of a row and had to remember to loop the yarn over and making sure for example we went over the warp if we had gone under before!   Confusing, but we managed just great and made some lovely weaves and helped each other when we found it difficult. Laura had brought a four shaft loom and a heddle loom and after showing us how these worked, we all got the chance to try them out. It was lovely to meet everyone and spend time learning to weave in so many ways and after having lunch, we left to go back to school.

Ship building! - 11th June, 2019

Today we worked with clay - some of us for the first time. Jac had rolled out some flat pieces of clay for us and then showed us how to put these together in order to make the base for our ships we shall be displaying in Whitehaven Library. It was rather difficult and not all of us made a ship but Jac had brought little clay stamps and we were able to use these to make patterns and repeat patterns in the clay.  There were alphabet stamps too!    Once the clay has totally dried, Jac told us that she will put them into a kiln following which we shall be able to paint these. We shall be painting fabric for the sails too.
