A beginning?




Hi Ismini,

I’m prompted to try and move things on following the email from Steph, Alex and Alice and realising that the summer has gone by since our trip to Falmouth. Although I have been doing a lot of thinking, there hasn’t been an awful lot of action! So without trying to be too pushy and not trying to force a beginning I’m wondering if one way to start will be to pick up on something I asked you about back in June when you demonstrated the loom. I don’t know if you remember. I asked if it would be possible to weave from a digital image of a ceramic surface and you said yes! Wow! What opportunities! I am really interested in taking that one step further by offering up some of my colour tests as a ‘what if’. Would it be possible to try weaving any of these? I am curious to know what further questioning this might prompt as, in my experience, making is never a straightforward activity (and if weaving is then I’m converting straight away!!) and there are always any number of alternative ways of doing something. Any thoughts? Sx

The start of something exciting!


Hi Ismini! As there is a delay with the official blog I thought we might use this one to share and record our thoughts. It will allow us to keep everything together rather than have a raft of emails that we need to sort through or that we might inadvertently lose. It will be easy to slide this across to the official site when it's ready.

I hope it will be the start of a fabulous and exciting journey together!
