Weaving for Beginners: Bold Colors and Organic Patterns
A course by Farron Feiner , Weaver
Weave from the heart with bold colors and organic pattern design
Farron Feiner fell in love with weaving the moment she took to the loom. ‘I’m in a flow state when I’m weaving, hours go by and I don’t notice the time at all. I’m completely content and in a state of bliss’, she says. Farron is known for her large-scale, organic landscapes and bold use of color. She won the emerging art prize autumn from Banditto Residency, and collaborated with Funem Studios to create a barragan inspired fiber pack and weaving pattern.
In this online course, collect inspiration to map out your designs and connect with your work, then learn techniques to make your ideas come to live on the loom.
