Seals and Seaweed
The Pembrokeshire coastal path winds its way through Wales rugged coastline with sheltered coves and wide open beaches. The salt laden cliff edges are laden with thrift, sea campion, and sea plantain, joined by bluebells and foxgloves later in May. Throughout the summer the landscape is painted with wildflowers. I’m so drawn to the sea and its luring beauty yet its power makes me fear it slightly, I also have the same draw to the hills. This connection I feel is no coincidence I’m sure; but a connection with our ancestors as they followed rivers and streams from sea to source. I love the feeling of inner peace and the healing properties the salty air has on the Body and mind, by far the best place for blowing away the Cobwebs. Usually you will find me sat upon some craggy rocks with the waves crashing below my feet and sometimes if I’m lucky a seal or two emerge out of the water to observe me weaving.

The Loom I use is a Tapestry loom with a Heddle Bar.
For the warp I use cotton or wool and have various stick shuttles and wooden needles that all help to weave the fibres. ( I have a video tutorial on Tools in my Library )
I also have a gatherings bag to gather textures in the form of Lichen, Moss, Grasses, Heather, small branches etc. These are usually what i’m drawn to as i’m walking to my Pleinair weaving location.
We also have a selection of Free to Air Tutorials to help & inspire you in your Weaving journey.
