Students will make their ceramic weaving frames using stoneware clay and decorate them with Emi’s forged natural clay slips. Day 2 Saturday 8 August 10.15-4.15pm:
Students will receive their fired ceramic frames, prepared by Emi. They will learn how to set up the loom and create their own handwoven piece using natural and sustainable yarns, including Emi’s home-grown flax fibres, forged natural fibres and yarns, Japanese kibiso yarn, silk mawata fleece, alpaca wool, and more. Emi has worked on several projects growing flax plants to produce fabric in different communities.

Participants are welcome to bring their own yarns.
Students will take their completed weaving home on the frame.
