Construct - Weave

This week we have started our textile world - Construct and our first three weeks will be spent weaving. This is a mood board that we were asked to create in order to narrow down our colour pallet and start to think about a theme for our project. I have found this process very helpful as it shows my progression from initial, primary research, to drawings, to wrappings and colour squares which will be very useful to me when picking yarns and deciding proportions in compositions.  

Making a warp for the weaving loom was a lengthy process, but as you can see, I managed to use many of the colours from my mood board and colour pallet and once used to the counting and mathematics, I began to find the process very therapeutic.  

Using a warp of the same colours as the one we made, I tried my hand at hand loom weaving for the first time! Continuing to use my colour pallet and drawings to help guide my weaving, I began to experiment with different patterns and and a variety of yarns in my weft.

I really enjoyed experimenting with different patterns on various looms and feel like I am starting to create samples that are very relevant to my research.
