This is a big day for me! I'm very excited to announce the release of my online tapestry weaving workshop with the School of SweetGeorgia. When Felicia Lo of SweetGeorgia Yarns asked me if was interested in teaching a class for the School of SweetGeorgia I was both thrilled and a bit stunned. I deliberately didn't reply for a whole day, to take that time to relish in the fact that 1) she asked me and 2) it might actually happen. I know Felicia as someone who does everything with intention and professionalism, and she always delivers the most polished and exceptional products whether it be with her yarn, her podcast or her online school. So, when I thought I could be a part of that magic I had to pinch myself. Once I replied and we got to talking about the possibilities things moved pretty quickly. That first email was send at the end of February 2019 and by June Felicia and Leah were in my studio on the Sunshine Coast filming the workshop. It's been a lot of fun working with Felicia and her team. I worked very hard to make this online introductory tapestry weaving course comprehensive, so we cover a lot in three-hours. What will you learn?To start, you will learn about tapestry terms and then different tapestry loom options, from frame looms to floor looms, and the pros and cons of each as well as a tutorial on how to make a PVC loom with tension control for around $20. Then we make three projects which each focus on fundamental techniques that will set you up for success in creating your own woven artworks after the course is done. I also show you how to finish your warp and weft ends and how to mount your tapestries to a wall.
