SUMMARY:The Red Dress Project : A presentation by Kirstie Macleod
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to welcome Kirstie Macleod to The Loom Shed. The Red Dress is an awe inspiring project\, shining a spotlight on hundreds of women whose circumstances overshadow their lives. Kirstie co-ordinated this project\, travelling around the world with the dress\, and we look forward to hearing more about the thought that started the project and the stories she heard as they stitched. \nKirstie has recently been elected as an Ambassador for the Textile Society for her “sustained commitment to The Red Dress as a global community project\, which has become an icon of contemporary world textiles”. \nThe Red Dress is an award winning global collaborative embroidery project centred around a red silk dress that holds the voices and stitches of 380 individuals from 51 countries around the world. Over 60% of participants are vulnerable women; living as refugees\, survivors of war and trauma\, or living in extreme poverty. \nThe garment speaks of unity\, peace and collaboration\, and has become a platform for voices to be shared and heard. It also showcases an exquisite variety of embroidery skill\, traditions\, symbols\, motifs and imagery from around the world.  For more info : www.reddressembroidery.com \nFor those able to join us in house\, you can meet Kirstie and join us for morning coffee and cake after the talk. \nPlease note\, The Red Dress will not be at The Loom Shed (we are a bit too worried about dust and looms)\, but will be exhibited at Killerton House from the 15th November 2025. \nWe will record this talk for ticket holders only to watch for two weeks after the event. So if you can’t make the date or the time isn’t right for your time zone\, you can still watch the talk.

SUMMARY:Learn to Spin with Amanda Hannaford
DESCRIPTION:This is one not to miss! The very experienced spinner and highly skilled tutor (and author)\, Amanda Hannaford is coming to The Loom Shed to teach us how to spin right from the very beginning! \nSo if you’re completely new to spinning\, but always wanted to have a go\, this workshop is for you. Amanda will start by introducing you to a large basket of clean wool straight from the sheep’s back\, and all the tools you need to turn the wool into useable yarn. \nWe will use specially designed wire brushes to turn the wool into fluffy rolls\, and then add twist using a hand spindle to make the loose fibres into yarn. There will be spinning wheels on hand to try\, if you’d like to take your newfound hobby further\, and we’ll also experiment with mill-prepared wool if you don’t know any friendly sheep! \nAmanda will also be bringing a few copies of her new book ‘The Handspinner’s Companion’ if you would like a signed copy.
