We are going to have our first tapestry weaving group meeting next Saturday. It is being held at the Handweavers and Spinners Guild, 655 Nicholson St, Carlton North, between 1.00 and 3.00pm. We are going to meet every 4th Saturday of the month.
As it is our first meeting, we do not have much planned. We are hoping that members will come with ideas for us to work out an agenda for our meetings, something to focus our weaving.
It is a group that has started up because we met in tapestry class in our Studio Textiles and Design course at RMIT and we want to keep up the skill. Unfortunately, tapestry will not be taught at RMIT anymore, so we are especially keen to keep in touch and maybe find another outlet for inspiration and skill development.
I haven't done much tapestry weaving this year although I did design two in my Design Concepts course in first semester. Hopefully this will give me the impetus to actually start. I did get as far as warping the loom but no further, other subjects have taken priority. This is my big chance - if I don't get bogged down in doing my graduation piece - and my work for the Machine Embroidery as Art course that I am doing through SWTAFE. Hmm, maybe I should just make sure I am in touch with the group and let ideas mull around in my head till I have the mental space for them.
Anyway, if you live in the area and have the time to come, please do so.
