Tutor: Cally Booker

Saturday 16th to Sunday 17th May 2026

Adventures in Double Twill

In this workshop we will dive deeply into the potential of working with two layers of twill on eight shafts.

Participants will have the opportunity to choose from a range of options, including: making bold patterns through the exchange of layers and use of colour; creating subtle shading using the two layers to blend colours together; and using the power of double weave to create twill tubes as well as fabric which is wider than the loom.

About Cally

Cally Booker lives and weaves in Dundee on the east coast of Scotland. She is drawn to places at the edge, where land and water meet, and in her work explores lines and boundaries, positive and negative, using multi-layered structures which hide and reveal. She achieves this by combining digital design tools with the slow processes of hand-dyeing and hand-weaving. Cally’s work has been exhibited around the UK and internationally. She is a member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and a past president of Complex Weavers.
