Scone Workshop in the Upper Hunter
A couple of weeks ago we travelled to Scone in the Upper Hunter of NSW to do a Saori weaving workshop. What a lovely venue and town it is. I did a workshop here four years ago and this one was different again, engaging weavers and new artisans travelling in from around Scone, and even…

Workshop Kickoffs
We’re off to a year of workshops and Saori weaving experiences for 2018. Aside from lovely locals weaving in the studio, this weekend was the first two day workshop for the year. February is normally too hot and I wonder about the sense in having a workshop but we’re had a good, not so bad…

2017 – Where did it go?
I’ve just seen the finish of the last workshop for 2017. Where did that year go? The weekend workshop was intimate and great. Such different weaves created by the participants. At one point they were all so engrossed in the task that there was no talking! We see lots of weaving words making connections to…

A hot Spring workshop
With temperatures of 30 degrees this weekend the early Spring Saori September workshop was hot. And so were the weavers with their work! A delightful, sunny weekend with a group of creative weavers sadly had to come to end. Two days doesn’t seem enough somehow. We only just got started. When it’s all new it…

Out and about
Sometimes I’m out and about with my looms and this date was a great weekend full of new and more experienced weavers, working away at the looms. It was the 2nd time or even 4th time for one weaver who worked on a pink woollen warp after several of the black variety. The coloured warps…

It’s a days work
It’s all in a days work. I’m gradually getting pics together of my many recent workshops. This one was a delightful local family group connecting creatively for a full day’s weaving over a 50th birthday celebration. In the morning as they began weaving in the studio I mentioned that they just might get a short scarf…

Morisset Weaving
Last month I had the pleasure of being with Saori weavers at Morisset Spinners and Weavers in NSW. A few of the weavers had already ‘caught’ my Saori addiction and the cloth discoveries were so interesting. Two full days of weaving and getting to know each other eventuated in metres of expressive cloth destined for…

Look, feel, hold and wrap
This weekend was full of the clacking of shuttles once again. Here Lydia is a 2nd time weaver to the studio. Following on from the theme of wider cloths on the loom, she took the opportunity to weave a full wrap. In two very full days of weaving she wove over two metres of fine…
