This artist’s residency is about wool - we'll be processing a whole sheep’s fleece. The journey of transforming a raw fleece through to usable yarn involves many different steps, many decisions and lots of skills, much specialised equipment, and a whole other vocabulary.
The natural fleeces are locally sourced from city farms or from sheep farmers and breeders beyond London.
Everyone can come and watch or have a go at these traditional activities run by Geraldine Kelly and Friends from the Vauxhall City Farm Spinners and the London Guild of Spinners and Weavers, who will run drop-in sessions to try your hands at carding and drop spinning, and have workshops to learn and practice spinning with a wheel, tapestry weaving techniques, fun challenges and demonstrations of spinning, plying, carding and blending.
We are working on the full programme of events which should include
Workshops on spinning and weaving
Enter the Drop Spinning Challenge
Tapestry show on the theme of the over-use of plastic and recycling
Selection of natural wool skeins, dyed yarns, and natural woollen products for sale
Drop in and chat with us about wool and other natural fibres
