Weaving week 1







Before getting started we learnt how to read the cards to operate the loom, this was something that looked complicated with its layout but I found to be very easy to read. My first thought was how I could introduce my theme of traces and influences of my drawings into my samples.

 I looked back at my drawings and took inspirations from the shapes to create this weave. Clear links between my inspirational drawings and my weave sample are shown through its composition, colour and textural effect.







I did some research and found the artist Anne Goddard. I was really inspired by her colour scheme of neutral creams and beiges as well as this I was fascinated by the way she combines natural materials such as wood and moss, with her own handmade creations this is something I plan to show through my weaves using both natural fibres and yarns; wool, cotton and manmade yarns. This is something I will explore next week.
