  Tutor: Sharon Kearley Saturday 19 to Sunday 20 September 2026 Two-day Repp Weave Workshop Discover the bold beauty of repp weave in this immersive two-day workshop that covers not only weaving the structure but exploring design concepts from the outset. Begin by developing ideas through mood boards and colour exploration, then translate your concepts into striking warp-faced designs. Experiment with geometric pattern, rhythmic blocks, and the powerful effects of colour and weft variation to create cloth full of texture and light. Leave with a collection of samples, fresh inspiration, and new confidence in designing and weaving in repp. Repp Weave: From Mood Board to Cloth Two-Day Workshop Discover the bold beauty of repp weave in this immersive two-day workshop designed for curious and creative weavers. A two-day workshop where we begin with design exploration with a focus is on exploring innovative design concepts and materials— creating mood boards and colour boards to generate ideas, clarify your palette, and establish a strong visual direction. Through guided exercises, you’ll consider contrast, rhythm, and proportion before translating your ideas onto the loom. From there, you’ll develop your ideas into woven samples, exploring repp’s distinctive warp-faced structure and its potential for striking geometric pattern, rhythmic blocks, and dynamic colour interplay. By experimenting...

  Tutor: Alice Noble Saturday 11 to Sunday 12 July 2026 Cramming and Spacing with Alice Noble During this course you will experiment with spacing and cramming techniques in the warp and weft, to create experimental and unconventional woven fabric. Over the weekend you will use your inspiration to create experimental weaves by manipulating the warp across the reed. Looms will be threaded before the course but not put through the reed so that we can explore fully the cramming and spacing techniques. Alice designs woven fabric that is inspired by space imagery, and uses the technique of spacing and cramming to create unique patterns within her weaves. She will be guiding you on designing your own unique fabrics, pushing the boundaries of conventional weaving and having fun with experimenting.   Course Costs: £260.00 Note: This payment includes a non-refundable £50 deposit.
