Coastal Weaving Workshop with Le Petit Moose Saturday, Aug 31st 1-4.30pm (Includes Tea/Coffee/Cake and all materials) Join us for a fun and relaxing day with like-minded individuals and learn the addictive medium that is frame loom weaving. It has made a major comeback in the last few years and creating a wall hanging is an ideal piece to start your weaving journey. No need to bring anything along, although it would be great for you to think about what the coast means to you. Is it a turquoise ocean, waves breaking on a rocky cliff, perhaps a marram swept golden coast? Or be directly inspired by the bridge views from Queensferry! Learn how to warp your loom and weave whilst creating texture, then adding fringes and finishing techniques. Tons of yarns to choose from and you'll leave with your own unique woven wall hanging. Together we will transfer your vision to tapestry! Artist Bio Stephanie Fradette is the fibre artist behind the brand “Le Petit Moose”, a nod to her French-Canadian roots. The Aberdeenshire-based artist blends bold colours into her woven, knotted and tufted wall hangings, showcasing rich textures, contemporary design and craftsmanship. Stephanie has been teaching weaving and knotting workshops across the North-East of Scotland since 2015. What started off as a one-off frame loom weaving class for a friend, progressed swiftly into teaching and delivering multiple hands-on fibre-based craft classes a month. Highlights have included teaching at Craft Scotland Summer Show, Dundee Contemporary Arts, The Barn Arts Centre in Banchory, the Fife Arms Hotel and Central Scotland School of Craft. She has recently published her first book “Playful Peg Loom Weaving”. |
