Join Jodie Posen for a fun introduction to the world of passementerie weaving! Passementerie is the art of decorative textiles, traditionally used as luxury finishes, braids and tassels. Together we'll explore techniques for creating luxury passementerie by experimenting with loop, braid and cord weaving, using different colours, materials and textures to create a range of surprising and original textiles.
The pieces you create can be displayed as art in their own right, used to decorate your furniture, or even embellish your favourite garment.
Friday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please remember to bring your picnic!
Materials provided and included in the price.

BA(Hons) Degree in textile Design Weave Specialism Chelsea College of Art, UAL
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.
