The rep weave is a type of weaving characterized by pronounced ribs that can be arranged horizontally (warp rep) or vertically (weft rep). This weaving creates a ribbed appearance in the fabric, offering both strength and a unique texture.
This two-day workshop will allow you to become familiar with the rep weave and express your creativity. The workshop will be open to all participants for the 5 days following the workshop to complete their work.

After spending thirty years restoring paintings, I fell into textiles. Sewing, embroidery and knitting have always interested me. Wool spinning and weaving came into my life twenty years ago, when my husband and I took over a family estate in Norway and raised a few sheep. I first taught myself how to process wool and then, to improve my skills, I joined a group of peasant weavers who met weekly. I'm particularly interested in traditional wool and linen techniques, and I use my wools dyed with plants and mushrooms to produce textiles for the home and for clothing.
