 Welcome to our members and readers. We are meeting face to face now at The  Meeting House. Our next meeting is on 9th July. Louise Cottey will be talking about how she wove her wedding dress
​ 'How I wove my wedding dress' is a talk that charts her career in weaving. She will talk about why she chose the structure, yarn and style of the dress fabric. She'll also talk about the emotional impact of the decision and its aftermath! (It was a very happy day, but the run up was predictably stressful). She'll bring lots of samples of her work to hand around from her early pieces at college to her most recent collection. The talk will culminate with the dress on display so weavers can inspect and understand why she wove it the way she did.  
We look forward to meeting and welcoming new and old members and visitors. If you are wondering what we do at meetings take a look at our blog and you will find out.
