A day of awareness-raising and information on textile issues. Participants will be given information on the different materials and their transformation processes. Participants will prepare lirette strips from used textiles and learn the technique of weaving with the lirette.
The lirette workshop runs from 9am to 5pm, with participants bringing a picnic lunch.
Materials
Participants will weave the lirette prepared in the morning using used textiles (you can bring your old clothes and scraps of fabric). The frames or looms are already assembled with a warp.
After the meeting of an elderly lady weaver, I started weaving as a teenager, as a self-taught enthusiast. After a long break, I stumbled across an ARM loom at a flea market! I immediately started weaving again with the desire to learn a bit more; so I started training as a weaver at Filambule with Danièle Mussard. I've finished the course and feel I've got everything to discover! Now I'll be able to take the time to learn more, experiment and explore this infinite world of yarns, materials and colours... with enthusiasm!
