For the past three weeks I have been teaching an ‘Introdruction to Weaving’ workshop in the Wanneroo Library and Cultural Centre. Most of the workshop participants had never seen a loom before, let alone weave a scarf! I was more than amazed with the results they produced in 9 hours. Their selvedges blew me away, I would have loved to have such perfect selvedges when I started weaving first, so these girls are very talented indeed!
The workshop consisted of
Class 1: How to wind a warp
Class 2: How to dress the loom
Class 3: How to weave a scarf
As the photo’s show, great fun was had by all and everyone went home with a finished scarf. Well done to all the participants, I enjoyed your company immensely.

Believe it or not! Belinda had never woven (or even seen a loom) before, and to produce this evenly woven scarf with perfect selvedges was truly inspiring. Awesome work!
Heads down Weaving ....... Got to get our scarves finished

Shelia completed a scarf, not a pot holder, like she thought she would!!

Yay to new weavers, and you look pretty pleased, too, Shirley. It was nice they went home with a piece, rather than a sampler, I think. Just curious – are they all your looms?
Thanks Meg ;o)
No they are not all my looms, one is mine, one borrowed from a friend & the rest I hired form the Weavers Guild.
Yes, I was very pleased as the girls were amazing! & just look at all those finished wonderful scarves!!!!!
Well done Shirley, I was going to ask about the looms too. No need now
