Lace weaving is a popular method for creating visually striking works, suitable for a wide range of applications. Today, many artists and textile craftsmen use lace weaving techniques in art, architecture, and fashion.
Ideal for those with beginner or advanced hand weaving skills who want to deepen their knowledge or develop an idea for their next project. We will review the steps of preparing a sample warp and setting it up on the looms, ready to explore the technique of Spanish lace weaving. Additionally, Jodie will prepare a loom for bead leno weaving so each participant can try it out. At the end of the course, you will leave with a selection of samples and a wealth of ideas!
Don't forget a picnic for your lunch break!

I am a weaver and textile artist whose work focuses on the reuse and recycling of waste materials to create intriguing and unusual pieces that play with form and colour. I enjoy the interplay between the saturated colours of discarded packaging materials like paper, plastic or foils and the sophisticated ones derived from working with plant-based dyes.
In 2011 I discovered my love of weaving whilst studying for a degree in Textile Design at Chelsea College of Art. Having never worked on a loom before, I quickly discovered the joy of creating cloth; optically mixing colours through different yarn combinations, rising to challenges presented by the loom and toying with the boundaries of what could be achieved within the given constraints.
My position as Textiles Technician at Bradford School of Art helped to cultivate my skills as an educator and enabled me to continue to professionally develop my creative skills, enhancing my technical weaving know-how and gaining skills in printed textiles and repeat design.
In my home studio practice I enjoy taking the time to nurture and evolve my artistic identity through exploratory and inquisitive sampling and experimentation, testing ideas on the loom and gathering inspiration from my surroundings.
