Louise Nason Artist in residence.
Well I have been weaving my new warp for a while now. It is slow going as its a double cloth. I want to persevere with it as its good to have a decent sized sample to reference to. The weaving has been very physical though. As I weaving on a hand loom the weight I lift when pressing peddles it rather heavy and for some reason this structure has made things harder. I have actually found that I come away with aching legs and back at the end of a day! So this week I have been breaking up the weaving with some sewing. I am trying to constructed my weaving ideas in canvas first to give a mock up of a shape or pattern. I shall weave on and let you know if the aches and pains have been worth it.
