My application for a bursary to attend this course with Caron Penney was successful. We worked through a series of exercises which covered the core techniques of traditional tapestry weaving. Tapestry produces a weft faced cloth, where all the warp is covered, however it is experience (or trial and error) that the number of strands of wool used in each weft is chosen; if the weft is too thick it will not cover the warp, which is the opposite of what logic tells you!
