Summer Studio
Want to weave over the summer? Do not want to work alone all the time? Do not have space? Do not have resources?
What better in a shared workspace than a shared weaving space! Former students and other weavers come together in the LoomRoom Studio to share the equipment and their knowledge with each other.
Share a space in the SummerLoomRoom. This offer is for students or former students to share the resources and costs of the studio over the summer. It does not include me teaching you as I need to focus on my own studio projects. I am saying that, as I might not be there all the time. When I am there and you are stuck I will surely help you if there is a quick fix... Also I encourage you to collaborate with the other weavers to problem solve.
I am opening up the LoomRoom for you to continue working on your projects over the summer. While I will book one table for me for the entire summer and reserve the right to block the teaching room for two days per week in case there are sewing bees or larger studio works to be done, I am offering residencies to present or past students:
10 weeks from 22nd of November to 28th of January.
$100 (share the costs) or $250 (because you can)
Depending on how the summer goes, there is a possibility that this offer can be renewed from Feb until mid March.
Spaces can be booked in collaboration with your co-weavers and I expect that we can accommodate everyone's fair share of the workspace, depending on how many of us there are. I expect that not everyone will want to come all at the same time...
There is no studio assistance involved in this deal but we can work on developing resources and offerings for the LoomRoom for next year. The front room needs to be cleared at the end of each day so that other people can get a work space when they come in.
I envisage that we will help each other to move looms from the back to front and vice versa. The three small floor looms can be rented at extra cost on a per week basis (once Georgina's and Monika's projects are finished of course) We will work on the computerised loom for our group project. And I need to work on my large project for the Ngahere forest exhibition which I need to complete by end of February 2022.
