Summer 2022: Table Loom Weaving

Course outline

Come along for a 5-day introduction to weaving workshop, using 4 shaft table top looms, hosted inside the wonderfully grand Clothworkers Hall in the City of London.

With a highly developed understanding of materials, colour and hand weaving techniques, you will be guided through many different weaving techniques by TCDT tutor, Claire Whelan. Claire is an award-winning woven textile designer, who has her own studio practice, alongside teaching constructed textiles at London Metropolitan University.

Each student will create their own designs on the final two days.

This course would suit anyone with an interest in textiles, art or practical crafts. You do not need any previous experience, although you are welcome to join if you do have some.
