Nail looms are an alternative frame or loom that allows for a more free form of weaving than a traditional frame loom. The nail loom is adaptable and lends itself to the creation of irregular shapes, which can be added to and joined with no cut ends showing.
We’ll provide nailed boards to create your for first sampler using coloured warp and a variable weft mix. You’ll only use small amounts so it’s a great zero waste approach to weaving where we can use up lengths of thread from our other classes. Once we’ve nailed the technique you’ll move on to experiment with warping in variable directions, in grafting on a second shape, and using different yarns. Any yarn that is not too elastic is possible to use, perfect for using up short lengths. We have lots to choose from, but you are welcome to bring along your own threads and saved remnants.
We’ll explore material mixes and to the interplay between weft and coloured warp, to create abstract colour explorations in tapestry.
