FEBRUARY 2020
Klara from Germany enjoyed creating her own pictorial design on one of our harmony looms. These looms have been set up for those who would like to try weaving but feel a bit intimidated by our Town Basin series of panels.
Laura Anderson, from Airdie, Alberta in Canada loved the opportunity to brush up on an old skill and share it with her two children.
Initially, her son Levi (9) wasn't very interested but after being encouraged to give it a go, he actually really enjoyed it!
Mariah (13) loved doing weaving and is keen to have a loom to weave on when she gets back home.
We always have visitors who enjoy watching the weaving process.
Cate Laurenson and her daughter, Meg from Timaru, New Zealand were up in the North on holiday for a few weeks when they came across our tapestry project. They made a special visit the next day to do some weaving and Cate said it was a very special experience, one she would like to take back to South Canterbury as a project idea down there.
Mike Gilbert from Mill Stream Cottage, Langstone in the UK really enjoyed and appreciated to opportunity to weave. He found it very meditative and soothing. The process reminded him of macrame, which he had done in the past. Thanks for your lovely feedback, Mike!
Petra de Koning Gans (above) and Jeltsje Wieroma (below) from the area of Utrecht, Netherlands had a go at weaving which was a craft they had not done before.
They both appreciated the opportunity to weave while visiting Whangarei.
