Learn how to warp, dress and weave on a multi-shaft loom.This workshop will lead you through winding your first warp, beaming your loom, threading, sleying and weaving. At the end you will go home with your own woven piece of fabric! Bring your own loom or use one from the guild.
This workshop is just an introduction into weaving and there is plenty to be learnt afterwards. The two days is therefore also open for participants who have already attended a beginning workshop before and need a refresher or a step further.

Workshop has limit to 8 participants.

Requirements
• For your first piece of weaving, we are going to use a 4 ply cotton. Available at Spotlight or other sewing shops (sometimes even Crazy Clarks or Warehouse has it). You need 2 colours of 4 ply cotton, 2 balls each.
• Equipment (warping board, table loom, reed) will be supplied by QSWFA.
• However, if you have purchased your own gear and would like to use it, please don’t hesitate to bring it along. It is a good way to learn how to use it properly.
• You also need a measuring tape, pins and a pair of scissors.
• Squared paper or graph paper.
• Note book and pencil
• Lunch… Fun and creativity!

Please note that the price for all QSWFA Workshops is now $60 members and $80 non-members per day.
