Learn to Weave Krokbragd with Angie Parker-2 DAY WORKSHOP. BRISTOL

Over 2 days in this purpose-built space you will learn all the basics for weaving krokbragd, under the guidance of weaver and textile designer Angie Parker.

Angie has been obsessed with weaving this traditional Norwegian boundweave technique for over thirty years. She has spent that time creating the contemporary designs from this age-old technique, for which she is known.

The workshop will cover:

• The principles of krokbragd and boundweave
• Designing with krokbragd
• How to achieve neat and even selvedges
• Setts
• Materials
• Rug weaving tips
• Weaving with colour
• Finishing off techniques

You will need to bring a notebook, but all equipment and materials are included in the cost.

You will be weaving on a Louet Erica 4-shaft loom which will be pre-set in preparation for the workshop. Warping your own loom will be covered in the workshop too.

The class size is restricted in numbers to allow plenty of hand on support from Angie whilst you get to grips with the trickier aspects of weaving krokbragd.

The sessions will begin at 10 am until 4.30 pm with a tea break in the morning and afternoon.

A simple lunch is included in the workshop. Unlimited tea, coffee, and biscuits are provided and the sessions are fun, intensive and friendly.

IMPORTANT. The workshop involves some standing and repeated actions. Those who suffer from lower back pain might experience some discomfort. Seating is available and taking regular breaks is recommended.
