This is a 5-day workshop.  Classes run 9-4pm with lunch included.

In this workshop the students will be introduced to the SAORI Philosophy of Weaving:

1. Consider the differences between machines and people
2. Be bold and adventurous
3. Look out through eyes that shine
4. Inspire one another and everyone in the group

This beautiful SAORI philosophy opens new ways of exploring weaving, whether you have never woven
before or have been weaving for many years. SAORI looms will be provided and we will start with weaving and exploring colour and texture. In this workshop you will get a chance to “Be Bold and Adventurous” and learn many fun ideas and techniques of SAORI design.

Included in this workshop will be sessions on topics such as creating 3-dimensional weavings, wall hangings, making a woven mobius scarf, one-of-a-kind wearable art and more.

As there are ‘no rules and no mistakes’ in this style of weaving, the possibilities of what we will do in the 5 days is endless. Each student will be encouraged to explore things that are of interest to them in this expressive style of weaving. During the workshop you will be able to complete at least two weavings.

The Material fee for this workshop includes the use of a pre-warped loom and extra weaving materials.  See student supply list for further details.

NOTE: For students who will be bringing their own loom, it must be pre-warped before class begins. Please contact the
instructor for further details. Please use this code when purchasing this workshop with your own loom to reduce your tuition cost: ownloomBIBBY2023
