Workshop: Upcycled Weaving & Loom Basics
đź“Ť Location: Edy & Bridge shop, 40 Nunhead Green, SE15 3QF
🗓 Date & Time: Sunday, February 1st, 2–5pm
🧶 Materials: All materials provided
In this hands-on workshop, participants will gain a foundational understanding of woven textiles, traditional looms, and their role in history. Guided throughout the session, attendees will explore the basics of weaving while learning how simple structures come together to form functional objects.
Using collected, up-cycled fabric scraps saved from the garment-making process at Edy & Bridge, participants will create their own unique weaving from start to finish. The workshop culminates in a handmade set of woven coasters to take home, along with the satisfaction of having made something entirely by hand.
The workshop is led by Ells, an artist with a background in fibre arts and a strong interest in social practice spaces. Ells studied textiles at Central Saint Martins, specialising in Weaving, where they developed a practice rooted in creating work and environments that facilitate connection — connection with self, with others, and with the wider environment and nature. Experimenting with waste and reclaimed materials has since become a central part of their artistic practice.
