Wayward Weaves

Wayward Weaves is a Stroud-based studio offering workshops in Saori, a form of weaving from Japan that encourages improvisation and free expression. Picture In Saori, there are no rules and no mistakes, just pure absorbtion and immersion in the weaving. Through Saori you can explore a wonderful world of colour and texture using just yarns, threads and your imagination. Beginners can learn to weave in an intuitive and relaxed way whilst more practiced weavers can find new inspiration, exploring techniques without a pattern or plan. Saori enables everyone to enjoy the rhythm and creativity of weaving regardless of age, experience, aptitude or disability. The basic skills are fun and easy to learn and most people are able to start creating their own unique textiles within minutes.
