Call
out to Saori weavers!
We
have been invited to make a Saori installation at The Forum, Norwich
for the month of February 2016.
As
part of Makers Month we will be decking the Forum with Freestyle,
Saori woven banners. The aim is to create a vibrant, colourful
display of banners that can be seen by visitors throughout the month.
Since
starting the Saori Shed three years ago, I have had the greatest
pleasure in meeting many lovely weavers, seeing your wonderful works
and being honoured by getting people started in the joyful art of
Saori.
We
would love to take this opportunity to display your weaves and bring
together Saori weavers from all over the UK.
All
weavings will be joyfully dislayed, whether it be banners, hangings
or yardage that you have woven to later make into clothing. There are
no restrictions!
The
Forum Trust is kindly providing funds so that all your weaves can be
returned to you by post - UK weavers. For worldwide weavers please contact.
The
installation will be up for a month and during this time your work
can be publicised by local media and online – if this is your
business there will be great coverage :)
If
you would like to be involved please email me at-
and
I will send you more details.
As
part of Makers Month we will be taking looms along for visitors to
experience the joyful art of Saori weaving, to make some community
banners and to bring people together. You are all invited to come for
a weave - more details will follow!
The
Forum, in Norwich, is a public Millennium building - everyone is
welcome seven days a week all year round to enjoy free exhibitions,
events and activities. There is also a café, a restaurant and one of
the best public libraries in the UK. Around 5000 people visit The
Forum every day.
Makers
Month is a new event aimed at bringing a wide variety of local makers
under one roof to create a vibrant, collaborative month of
interactive learning and motivational experiences for all age and
ability groups.
Each
week in February will be themed-
Week
one - ‘Yarn’,
week
two - ‘Fabric’,
week
three - ‘Pencil and Paint’
week
four - ‘Paper and Ink’
I
look forward to hearing from you.
With
thanks
Kim
