A Common Thread Loom Activation: Weaving and Eco Printing Workshop

Embrace the physical craft of weaving and eco printing in this informal weaving workshop, led by Gallery Assistants Taylor Hall and Jade Zaheer. Work on smaller-scale weaving projects using cardboard frames, or take part in large-scale weaving on our central loom.

In the Eco printing workshop, participants will be invited to experiment with bioprinting on strips of cold-felted wool donated by the British Wool Exchange. Eco printing is the process of transferring colour directly from a flower or plant to a piece of cloth. Using foraged flowers and plants from the local area, participants will learn to create beautiful patterns.
