March's Meeting: "Mini Weaving" with Joan Murray
A big congratulations from all our members here at Grassington to Carol Brown who was awarded one of the prestigeous Embroiderers' Guild Trustee Awards on February 18th at her home. Thirty years ago, Carol Brown with three other friends set up the Grassington District Embroiderers Guild. Carol has been a steadfast and committed member and there have been times when our branch would not have survived without her.
This month's workshop on mini weaving was extremely popular and we managed to squeeze 17 participants around the table. Joan Murray gave us a brief introduction about herself and how she had graduated from Belfast College of Art and went on to specialise in weaving at Winchester School of art. She illustrated her talk with samples of her wonderful weaving and then got us all started on mini looms.
Joan had wonderful fine intricate samples to show us.
The colourful and textured mini weaving samples created at the workshop were all so varied.
Joan is a lecturer at Craven College and we all hope her students realise how lucky they are to have such a dynamic and inovative teacher. She inspired our group of ladies who were certainly interested in spending more time on weaving workshops. We are hoping that Joan will run some day courses at the College for mature students as an extension to the course she ran today.
