Tickets to the Carve and weave class at Långbro gård, 1-2 February
The class
During the last couple of years I have been developing my own practice around carving tiny rigid heddles and in this class I will show you how I do it! The class spans over two days where we spend the first day carving heddles, and the second day weaving on them. This is a great introduction to weaving on bigger looms as it introduces all the core principles of weaving, in a small and comprehensive format.
Day one: The carving day. We begin the day with a step-by step walkthrough on how to carve the slits and holes of the heddle. In the afternoon you carve your own heddle, and if time and energy allows you can learn how to cut patterns for decorations such as faces, windows and doors.
Day two: The weaving day. Weave on the heddle you made yourself or borrow one from Kerstin! You will learn how to design different patterns on your bands and how these patterns can be manipulated by using different weft yarns.
The class is suitable for both beginner carvers and weavers and the more experienced craftspeople alike, the only requirements needed to join is that you have basic hand strength.
All materials are included in the class, and no extra fees are added.
The class will be taught in Swedish. If you’re not fluent, send me a message and we’ll see if we can work around it.
Well, why is the description in English then? - Yeah it seems kinda weird as the people considering to take the class will be Swedish speakers… But the rest of my website in in English and it just felt too weird to mix languages.
Bring, if you have it:
Scissors
A ruler
Graphite (blyerts) pencil and eraser
Colored pencils
Reading glasses
The venue
Långbro gård is situated outside Gnesta and is within a walking distance of the Mölnbo commuter train station. It is an old big farm with a manor house that is run as a bed and breakfast today, and that boasts of it’s own bakery! It is a very pittoresque location and the class will take place in one of the salons at the manor. You can also choose to stay overnight at the manor and make a cozy craft weekend out of it!
