Big
Draw Living Lines - EXTREME WEAVING!
7
October 10am – 3pm National Wool Museum, Drefach Felindre, SA44 5UP
The Big Draw promotes the universal language of drawing as a tool for
learning, expression and invention. For as long as we’ve been able to draw
we’ve been depicting motion: from prehistoric cave paintings
of charging bison through magic lanterns and shadow
puppets to
stop-motion, digital technology and
social media GIF’s.
For the Big Draw
2017 Oriel Myrddin and The National Wool Museum will be inviting people to join in creating a collaborative giant woven
work of art with myself. Weather permitting , the plan is to weave around the big tenterhook frame that is outside the Museum. If too wet, we'll be doing large scale in-situ weaving in the Long Gallery inside the Museum instead. Wherever it may be, this wild weaving extravaganza
will be filmed and become a time lapse film which will be shown at Oriel Myrddin Gallery.
CALL OUT FOR HELP! Weaver / textile / fashion friends - I'm going to need a LOT of material to make this giant woven textile. The plan is for this to be mostly made from recycled and re-purposed materials including loom waste. If you have any warp 'thrums' (the last bit of warp that can't be woven) would you be willing to donate them to the project? The palette is going to be typically Welsh - grey, black, red and white/ecru/undyed. I'd also be interested in any waste natural fabrics that are in this colour palette that I could cut into strips to weave with. If you can help - please drop me a line and I can send you my postal address info at laurathomas dot co dot uk HUGE THANK YOU!
