Investigate linen as a weaving material with Rena Roohipour!

Investigate linen as a weaving material with Rena Roohipour as you create a woven piece inspired by the threads, fabrics and plants of flax.

Participants will learn how to warp a small frame loom and learn simple weaving and colour blending, as well as how to control the weft to create a stable piece, how to effectively create texture, using sumac stitch and rya loops. Secure finishing will be taught, and participants will cut off and knot their piece to take home.

The workshop is suitable for beginners and can be adapted for intermediate participants. Information on materials and further study will be made available. Workshop suitable for adults, please get in contact if you are interested in booking for someone under the age of 18.

Please bring a packed lunch. Tea and coffee will be available at the workshop.

This workshop is part of Moneydarragh Hub's Grove of the Oaks Festival, celebrating the environment and sustainability in rural Mourne. The Linen on the Loom workshop is also part of the Linen Biennale 2023.
