Tuesday May 3 & Wednesday May 4: There are 5 seats still available for this Anne Field workshop. Please let Maureen know if you would like to register for this workshop before February 1st. At this point we will be opening the workshop up to other guilds and you may then not be able to get a seat! The cost will be approximately $175 for the 2-day workshop and will be firmed up once venue costs have been determined. We’ll need a deposit of $100 to reserve your seat in the workshop. My e-mail is workshops@lwsg.org . The following is a brief description of the workshop. A more complete description is available on Anne Field’s website www.annefield.co.nz .

Students will bring along a four-shaft loom, already threaded following instructions sent prior to the workshop. Students will be concentrating on the use of colour in weaving. We will experiment with different colour combinations in yarns, firstly planning and sampling colours, using colour wheels as aids, then weaving pieces which reflect each weavers’ personal choices. In the process of discovering colour, we will also be learning such techniques as stripes and blocks, pattern weft-face, boundweaving, flamepoint, linked weft, weaving curved shapes, chaining and crocheting, and rya. Students should be able to thread their own loom, and have done some basic weaves, such as tabby and twill.
