warp for this banner is made from carefully selected thick knitting
yarns, laid in vertical stripes to reflect the transition in both
colour and temperature that occurs naturally in a fire, from cooler
reds at the fire’s outer edge through orange, and yellow to hot
blue flames in the fire’s heart. The banner is warp-dominant,
representing the rising quality of heat. The weft is woven using
fine wool yarns in the same colour palette, arranged vertically in
stripes from blue at the base to pale yellow at the top of the
banner. The finished dimensions of the banner are 136” (3.45 m)
long by 18” (460 mm) wide, excluding the braided/plaited fringes.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

warp for this banner comprises five randomly-threaded wool and
cotton yarns in a variety of earth tones. The weft features over
fifty shades of grey, brown and orange yarns, which represents the
many and varied geological strata that are revealed by a cross
section through the Earth’s crust. The bottom 32” (820 mm) of
the banner is split into five strips to represent fault lines and
fissures deep within the Earth’s crust. The banner is embellished
with beads and shells that represent rare mineral deposits and
fossils. The finished dimensions of the banner are 140” (3.5 m)
long by 19” (490 mm) wide, excluding the plied/twisted fringes.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

2 – Air by Julienne Hanson. </span></span></span><span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">The
warp for this banner comprises light grey, cream and dark grey silk
threads, in the proportions of 21% oxygen, 1% trace gases and 78%
nitrogen respectively, that together make up Earth’s atmosphere.
Trace gases include argon, carbon dioxide, neon, methane, helium
krypton, hydrogen and xenon. The airy weft is woven in five bands of
grey and cream mixed wool/silk yarns that represent the five layers
of the atmosphere - </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="text-decoration: none;">troposphere,
stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere – in their
various proportions. The weaving includes stripes of unwoven warp,
hand manipulated leno (twisted warps) and Brooks bouquet (tied
warps) that emphasise the ‘airy’ qualities of the banner, which
has been embellished with goose feather quills at the bottom warp
end, and duck down feathers along the selvedges that float about to
reveal unseen air currents in the room in which the banner is
displayed. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">The
finished dimensions of the banner are 152” (3.86 m) long by 15”
(380 mm) wide, excluding the plied/twisted fringes and goose feather
quills.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

4 – Water by Julienne Hanson. </span></span></span><span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">The
warp for this banner comprises a mix of green and blue fine cotton
and silk yarns. The banner is weft-dominant, and is woven using a
clasped weft technique that allows the weft to travel across the
banner in a series of shallow curves, which represent the liquid,
fluid qualities of water. The colour palette rises from deep blue at
the bottom of the banner (deep water) to pale blue (shallow water),
and eventually to white (representing ripples and spume) at the
banner’s top. The banner is embellished by 14 silk fish that
‘swim’ along the banner’s fringes. The finished dimensions of
the banner are 144” (3.66 m) long by 18” (460 mm) wide,
excluding the plied/twisted fringes and dimensional fish.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Davidson - </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I
started incorporating saori weaving into my artwork last year. As a
textile installation artist, its free style nature sits
fantastically with my instinctive approach. Inspired by nature, I
love playing with a materials’ capability symbiotically with my
own ideas, using this freedom of creativity allows a random nature
of possibility; incorporating colours, textures and my mood, I feel
like it communicates me, in that moment. Ultimately I love being
part of the full process, from raw material to finished Artwork;
Gathering fleece, plants to dye with, playing with spinning
techniques, saori weaving, freeform crochet and photographing my
artwork wrapped around a tree, back in the nature of my original
inspiration.</span></span></span>

wearable. I’m doing this as part of celebrating life and
dedicating my effort to a special anniversary 20 years in December -
to my beloved brother</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In no particular order, with no prior plan, we hung the banners very intuitively.

by </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Barrington
Farm Artists. </span>In
2013 Barrington Farm received funding to purchase a Saori loom. This
gave our artists an exciting new potential to create cloth and
experience traditional Japanese weaving. Barrington Farm encourages
people to find their own way of expressing themselves through their
art. The philosophy behind Saori weaving that everyone is an
individual fits perfectly with our group. Staff teach the basic
principles then the artists take the weaving in their own direction.
There is a lot of variation in the banners that Vincent, Hazel,
Michael, Max, Val and Saffron have made for this exhibition.
Michael’s weaving gathers in tight in places, whereas Max has been
playing with the technique called clasp weft. Some of the pieces are
communal, meaning that several artists have sat at the loom and
added to the finished banner.“I
enjoy it. It’s only taken me 3 days to weave 2.3 metres! It’s
calming.” Max, artist. The
Barrington Farm Art Barn is a unique, independent art studio
supporting adults with learning difficulties in North Norfolk.</span></span></span></div>

opportunity to meet other Saori weavers and share your
weavings and
experiences.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Local Saori weavers came and brought their recent weaves<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, shared i<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">deas, solved some problems and ate some lovely cake<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

This was a real joy to weave. I especially liked playing with the different tonal effects created by weaving contrasting colours on the same warp, leading to some of the cloth being more red and other parts more purple. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wanted to make one of the patterns in the Saori blue pattern book - <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/177263360/fuku-no-katachi-ni-suru-blue-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_8" target="_blank">Fuku no Katachi ni Suru</a> - coat on page 81, but I didn't have quite enough cloth ( I had already used some of the warp for a hanging). So in true Twisted Tailor style I frogged it :) Found some lovely natural cotton in red and magenta and made triangle shapes to fit into the gaps. Adding triangles instead of rectangles to the front gives the jacket a more flowing shape and nice drape. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After playing
around with it discovered its even better upside down! Reminds me of a
styalized kimono. Great to wear on summer eves :)</span></span><br />

We had our Saori stall with 2 looms set up for everyone to have a play at weaving Saori - it was lovely to see so many people finding pleasure in Saori. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Woolclip put a great show together with loads of inspiring textiles and fantstic fibres</span>.<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I found some fibre treasures for the studio including dyed silk hankies and rainbow roving-weavers coming to the studio in the next few weeks can enjoy the treats!</span><br />

<a href="http://www.saltspringweaving.com/blog/?p=1748"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.saltspringweaving.com/blog/?p=1748</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really wanted to have a go and thought this red warp would be ideal. I adapted Terri's technique so that my loops started off small and then grew up to the top. This was completely, joyously random. I looped small to start with then took the threads as high as the shelf at the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was so exciting getting it off the loom as the loops all kind of stuck together, then you have to prise them apart to set them free - very satisying! Going to find it something pretty to hang it off now :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Big thanks Terri for inspiring a joyful afternoon. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kai
in Japanese means sharing or a gathering. A Saori Kai is
a great
opportunity to meet other Saori weavers and share
weavings and
experiences.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">We had a lovely group of weavers come who brought some of their recent weaves to share. Techniques were discussed, sewing problems were solved and lots of yarn and weave admiration had by all :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">We had a play with the WWW technique and wove a loose communal Kai piece (photos to follow) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Delicious cakes and bread supplied by the <a href="http://www.hempnall-honey.co.uk/Hempnall_Honey_Co./About_Us.html" target="_blank">Hempnall Honey co. </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">A lovely morning, thank you all for coming and sharing, look forward to the next Kai! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stunning hanging using the 2 dent comb reed and her luscious handspun yarns with crochet lichen on the top. Kally says 'the weaving has developed some interesting characteristics now that its
been washed eg. a lumpy curly twisty fringing which resembles veins of
ivy' -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love how it sits so happily wrapped around the tree - inspiringly gorgeous :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a packed 2014 with shows, workshops and a new baby :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly some Saori weavers work to inspire you. These are all made by weavers at the studio and around the UK with Saori looms, some fibre and lots of imagination. Thanks all for sharing your work, can't wait to see what comes next.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Weaver Fiona came for a weaving session to learn some new techniques to go beyond the stripe-she felt that she had got into a little pattern of reverting back to stripes when weaving so we had a play with some Saori techniques to create texture and interest in your cloth, to go beyond the stripe :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fiona brought in some of weavings including this fantastic purple coat, all made from rectangles pieced togerther using wools, fancies and cheniles - a really clever little feature is that it has an extra zip up the centre, which Fiona uses to zip her fleece into for when it get especially cold, making it double layered, genius :) </span></div>

She is a pro spinner and spins these AMAZINGLY gorgeous gigantic skeins of art yarns using beautiful fibres and lots of luscious wensleydale locks.She's been weaving on a knitters loom and wanted to have a try on a Saori loom. Completely, joyfully hooked on Saori :) Thanks for an inspiring morning.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We went for the preview evening the other night and got a sneeky peek at all the lovely work 'Inspired by Birds'.</span></span><br />

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With
this Doodlebird dwelling we doodled in yarn taking a thread for a
walk rather than a line. We have created interchangeable sacred
spaces based on the social weaverbirds nests. </span></span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Birds
build nests for shelter, protection and nurturing young, like wise
human communities who build organically, create structures which are
sympathetic to their environment, grow, are torn down and rebuilt to
serve the needs of the community. </span></span>

</span></span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Doodlebird dwelling has the same potential to change and be rebuilt
after the exhibition as it encounters more doodling weavers who can
bring their own skills and experience to take the dwellings into new
environments changing spaces and creating new perspectives - please get in touch if you would like to get involved.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I had been dreaming about spinning some more art yarns with felt balls and have finally done it! I spun a single from hand dyed fleece and mohair in different shades of green then added in felt balls as I went along. Great fun! I really like how as you weave with the yarn its a lucky dip where the balls are going to end up on the cloth. I could have sewn them on afterwards but it was much more enjoyable and free flowing for them to land where they wanted to :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ang started
Saori weaving a few months ago after coming for a starter weaving
session at the Shed. She got a loom, warped a long pre wound warp onto
it and she has been producing more and more amazing pieces ever since.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been made by a talented
local engineer/carpenter based around a Louet hatbox wheel. I love
these little wheels but find their bobbins too small for spinning my
favourite art yarns. So, David built this with the hatbox as a starting
point, then adapted it to take chunky bobbins have a HUGE orifice, that
can be bypassed-so can fit ANYTHING on and then put it all in a bomb
proof box (very needed round here with small children) - that also has a
built in lazy kate.</span> </span><br />
