But this time i thought I'd stay a little closer to home and learn a new skill, so i thought I'd try out tapestry weaving!
Now, i don't know if you've ever looked in to tapestry weaving, but theres a huge branch of different skill and types of tapestry weaving! And in fact, tapestry weaving has been mislead for a lot of needle work! So i was a little lost when i began to look for a course or class to join!
But then i stumbled upon Hilary Charlesworth, a tapestry weaver who mostly weaves rugs based in west Sussex. I liked the idea of a small more personal class, so i signed up straight away and am so glad i did!
I went along with just one other woman so basically had a one on one session, and learnt the basics in weaving, how to set up my own frame and some lovely weaving techniques! I had such a lovely day with Hilary and her creative class and cant wait to get in to weaving and experiment with Yarn!
I highly recommend one of Hilary's classes to any one who is interested. She is a lovely, warm woman and i assure you, you will learn loads and have a really good time too! And weaving is such a therapeutic thing to do, you can get lost in it for hours!
Here are a few photo's of my own sample, don't you dare laugh!
If you are interested in learning a little more about weaving, you should definitely take a look at Hilary's website.
