Weaving in the wilds of Wales.........

Greetings again dear Reader, I'm back in London after a delightful week weaving deep in rural Pembrokeshire in Wales! Along with two other weavers we enjoyed the exceptional hospitality & care of Martin and his lovely wife Nina who runs the B&B. Martin, a master weaver, has a wealth of knowledge gained over 40 years of weaving and a has a creative and enthusiastic approach to both technique & use of colour!

My initial dreaming & concept plan........ The dream started as a rug & ended up a wall hanging!

Threading the warp threads onto my loom........a slow & tedious process!

The creation progressing.........

After 5 days of weaving in lovely company & gorgeous surroundings...........the finished wall hanging!

Moirin, Sandra & myself showing off our finished pieces........for relatively inexperienced weavers we are proud of our weaving creations achieve under Martin's patient & expert guidance!

The cosy studio........


The adjacent B & B where our very comfortable accommodation was located......

The farm's grounds and surrounding countryside.........



After a delightful week of weaving in good company we said our goodbyes and headed off with our heads full of ideas for further projects......... Following a 5 hour train journey from Clunderwen I arrived back on London for 3 weeks of exploring this wonderful city! 

Stay posted for the next instalment, K.......
