Peg Loom Wreath Workshop with Louisa Redelsperger
Time & Location
Friday 20th November 1-4pm, designermakers21, Diss, IP22 4LB
About the Workshop
Bring the seasonal beauty of East Anglia into your home this winter. Louisa will teach you to master the peg loom and weave a natural woolen wreath base, then adorn with a range of foraged seed heads, dried flowers, foliage and pinecones – the choice is yours!
Once your wreath has been finished with a pretty 100% silk bow, it’s ready to come home with you and brighten up even the coldest winter nights. The perfect way to ease serenely into the christmas spirit (lasting christmas serenity not guaranteed!).
About Louisa
Louisa is currently undertaking an Incubator Fixed Term Residecny at designermakers21.
“After immersing myself in the world of natural fibre and learning the shocking data related to the destructive nature of fast fashion in my first year of university, I decided to dedicate myself to producing only fully compostable garments, which reconnect the fibre to the wearer and the wearer to the maker. I believe when one connects with clothing, there is a healing which begins to mend generations of resource and labour exploitation.
It gives me satisfaction to say that I have not worked with plastics, mixed metals or harsh chemicals for three years…and counting! I now work primarily with locally sourced UK wool provided by a local young Shepardess, Tilly Abbot. Having contact with the flock and handler offers a valuable insight into the wool’s journey from lamb to ewe, to my hands. This knowledge is what brings value to all that I produce.”
