THEO MOORMAN TECHNIQUE

We are hoping to arrange a class in the 'Theo Moorman' technique. This is weaving technique which allows you to create images on the loom. The effect is rather like tapestry weaving, but the warp threads are loom controlled, rather than hand manipulated, and it is much faster to weave.
Dates will be arranged when we have sufficient interest. Please contact the Guild office to register your interest
