weaversbazaar came out of a shared passion for tapestry weaving when Matty Smith and Lin Squires met for the first time on the 2008 West Dean College Tapestry Summer School. We had both been experimenting with art, craft and cloth weaving and loved using yarns in creative ways. As we progressed through that hot summer week, weaving and talking and talking and weaving, we not only discovered many shared life experiences but also a common sense of fulfilment in the process and outcomes of tapestry weaving. However, once away from West Dean, we faced a serious challenge - how to find high-quality yarns in just the right colours needed for the tapestries we wanted to weave. After much research, a supplier of high-twist worsted yarn was found and then a dyer who was able to match-dye from just a one-inch colour sample...and at that point, we began to think about whether this would be a product and a service that other textile artists would be interested in: weaversbazaar was launched! The products and services we offer have grown in popularity: our original range of six colours have grown to over 200.The fine 18/2 yarn we started with has been complemented by two medium-weight worsted yarns (7/2 & 9.5/2). In addition, we have extended the range of yarns offered to include both dyed and undyed Nettle, Silk and Linen. We commission the manufacture of equipment that cant be found else where and a year ago took on a studio space in which we run workshops. In doing all these things have establish relationships with diverse textile artists arounfd the world and to communicate regularly with our growing community; sharing information and news that we hope both interests and informs. And our own weaving has continued to develop. Lin and Matty are both active members of the British Tapestry Group, the American Tapestry Alliance and the Canadian Tapestry Network and relish opportunities to get together with other tapestry weavers and textile artists to share ideas. Everyone who contributes to weaversbazaar is a textile maker. Matty retired from weaversbazaar in April 2020. But we continue and Rachel Hanney has joined Lin to continue to develop weaversbazaar. Our mission remains to be the place to find quality yarns and reliable, to provide a personalised service and to facilitate creativity and especially Tapestry Weaving as a contemporary art form.

Our purpose is to advance the Kingdom of God through training and teaching people from all over the world. CORE VALUES  Community As a residential, cross-cultural community we provide a framework for growth in all areas and encourage the students to be Christlike. While fellowship between students and staff creates a close mentoring and nurturing environment. Christ Centered Jesus’ leadership was characterised by service as well as integrity, excellence, faith, hope and love, so we don’t just teach them to preach about Him but to imitate him and develop a servant attitude too. Connected We have always been aware of and responded to the needs of the nations and these international connections ensure that we continue to network with missions worldwide. While the students’ involvement in local churches gives opportunities to form connections within the UK. Complete The school believes that the key to preparing the next generation for effective ministry is a programme with a good academic curriculum taught by passionate, experienced and competent lecturers together with a strong vocational component, so this is our holistic approach. VISION &  GOALS The IBTC’s vision is to empower a young generation to effectively function in Christian service. This vision is accomplished by welcoming students from many parts of the world, training them into mission back home and abroad.
