Tapestry Landscapes, an introduction to blending- adult weaving workshop
◉ Saturday 26 September, 11am – 2.30pm
Enjoy a mindful Saturday at this landscape themed tapestry weaving workshop. Your tutor Lucy will guide you through simple blending and subtle colour-changing techniques to create your own landscape.
Maybe you want to replicate the purple hues of a lavender field, maybe you’ll take inspiration from the deep blue of the sea. With looms prepared in advance, you can spend the session focusing entirely on the meditative rhythm of weaving your own unique tapestry.
This workshop is ideal for complete beginners as well as those with some weaving experience looking to further their skills and explore weft blending techniques.
All materials and equipment will be provided. Materials include a large selection of coloured wools to choose from. No prior experience is necessary.
Suitable for adults and ages 16+.
Please note we will break for a half-hour lunch and stretch.
£40 per person
Don’t forget, you can present your ticket or receipt at our café on the day of the event to receive 10% off your order.
About the Artist
Lucy Sugden is a woven tapestry artist who weaves from her studio in Letchworth Garden City.
It is important to Lucy to maintain a sustainable art practice by recycling and upcycling fibres. This has become an integral part of how she works and has a direct effect on the design and size of a piece. Her work is woven using good-quality waste fibres, either from a craft stash, a box at the back of the garage, or from yarn suppliers and rug manufacturers.
A member of The British Tapestry Group, the Wynd Gallery and various textiles associations, Lucy regularly exhibits locally and nationally, along with delivering talks, workshops and courses.
