Sylvia Glenister from New Zealand led this basic weaving workshop. It was aimed at potential new weavers who had very little to no knowledge about the weaving process.

She provided all the instructions to get them started, but the theory was at the same time so comprehensive that quite a few experienced weavers learnt something as well about for instance yarn counts and setts.

Weaving was done on a straight threading and a variety of designs was given including finger manipulated weaves and colour & weave. People with a rigid heddle loom were able to follow quite a bit of this workshop too.
