Learn how to weave without a loom, using a wooden board, and a needle and thread!
Whether you’re a seasoned weaver or a total beginner, these little creations are magical to do - and better yet, you can do it from your sofa!
Discover a new skill, meet like-minded people and enjoy the rewarding feeling of having made something beautiful from scratch.
In this workshop we'll put functionality and fashion aside for a moment to celebrate woven cloth, and the structures used to create it.
Twills, herringbones, dogtooth, hopsack - typically part of a functional product, a garment or home furnishing - now shown in a different setting, as artworks, to be displayed and admired as a painting or a sculpture would be.
We’ll take our time to learn about the history of the fabrics we are weaving, and why it's important to challenge the mentality around fast fashion.
Though first developed for its functionality, weaving has long been practiced as a form of expression, like many other artistic disciplines - but in today's fast paced fashion culture, we have started to think of textiles as 'disposable’ - and the craft of weaving is perceived as devalued.
Through these weavings, we’ll re-familiarise ourselves with the human input that goes into our clothing, and the skill, patience and craftsmanship of the makers.
These little woven studies are magical to do, and using a needle and thread is a great exercise for getting to grips with the basics of weaving without the complexity of the loom.
If you would like to purchase a materials kit, please get in touch with me well in advance of the workshop date.
If you'd prefer to gather your own materials, you will need:
- Three bases to weave around (I use A6 pieces of birch plywood, (postcard size) with 3mm thickness but you can use anything vaguely rectangular or square, just make sure its strong and won't bend. Tiles work well, old coasters, slate, some people have even used old books and record sleeves!)
- Double sided tape
- A needle (a regular sharp one will be fine, but I use a flat 'bodkin' needle)
- Yarn! You can use any yarn for this, though I would suggest starting with something on the thicker side. I will be demonstrating the first design using rug wool. Then I will move onto a regular knitting wool thickness, and then on to cotton embroidery floss (6 ply)
- Simulations of the woven structures to use as a guide (these will be sent out by email for you to print at home)
- Scissors (not your best fabric scissors, as we will be using these to cut tape)
- Pencil
- Ruler


A Zoom link will be sent to participants by email upon booking.
You will receive instruction manuals a week prior to the workshop, so that you can familiarise yourself with the method
A video recording of the workshop will be available afterwards, that you can look back on as many times as you like, at your own pace.

Floral Wreath Design for Beginners

<h2>Design Sinking: How to Fail at Design Thinking - and How to Do It Better</h2>
<p>Design Thinking is ubiquitous these days. From developing new payment processes for car parks to optimizing the patient experience in public hospitals, from designing blockchain scenarios for savings banks to improving the employee experience at tech start-ups, from building intrapreneurial ventures for mobility providers to designing business models for aircraft parts logistics, from large-scale digital transformation campaigns on enterprise level to designing whole strategies of start-ups, SMEs and major corporations alike... Looking back to the last years as an innovation consultant and facilitator, the list could go on and on. Browsing all those cases one might easily get the impression that Design Thinking is some kind of 'magic wand' to just do it all - better, faster, cheaper and of course instantly ready for implementation, with a 100% guaranteed success rate. Germans would call it a 'Eierlegende Wollmilchsau' (engl. fig. 'egg laying wool-milk-pig'). Of course, it is not. Nevertheless, it has undoubtedly proven to be a highly important tool to master the transformations we're facing on so many levels.</p>

Improve Executive Functioning Skills in Children with ADHD Aims to 
Children and teens diagnosed with ADHD have challenges in their executive functioning. These may show up as problems following directions or remembering a sequence of activities. Children may have difficulty learning from past mistakes, staying focused for the duration of a task, or maintaining emotional control in stressful situations. They may struggle with the organization of personal items or to-do lists, with being flexible with unexpected changes, and with managing their time efficiently. These difficulties, in turn, manifest into problems at home, school, work, and with social skills.
Executive functioning skills are the missing link between intentions and actions. In this presentation, we will identify executive functioning skills and discuss how ADHD and related neurodiversity diagnoses impact them. We will identify how to evaluate executive functioning and discuss intervention strategies and ways that we can increase support to improve the development of executive functions throughout childhood and adolescence and into early adulthood. The participant will learn three ways to empower individuals of all ages to strengthen executive functioning skills.
This course is presented in lecture form with questionnaires and handouts developed by the instructor to assist the participant in working with children and families.
