February Monthly Meeting (Zoom)
February 11 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Nicole Bunting will present a program on “Introduction to Tapestry Weaving”.
Tapestry is more than just imagery in weaving, but that can be a big part of it too! Today and throughout history, tapestry has been misunderstood and misrepresented. The true definition of tapestry is simple even if the techniques are wide and varied. We will be learning about the history of tapestry, the essentials of creating a tapestry – including cartoons, materials, equipment, and the one technique you NEED to know for a successful tapestry – as well as about my personal tapestry practice and studio.
Nicole received her BFA in Craft and Material Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). She is a weaver, embroiderer, and paper artist that likes to combine all of these materials to create her work. She has been a weaving instructor in the Richmond area since 2015, assisted Susan Iverson at Penland during the summer of 2018, and taught as an adjunct at VCU in 2019. Nicole created the website Warped Fibers in 2020 to share her weaving knowledge and love with anyone willing to listen! Since then she has created 3 e-books, an online tapestry course, and an online shop that can all be found on her site – with plans for many more!
