Some people might know that Ann Sutton was given an MBE in the Queen's New Year Honours list* this year (2022) for her services to the arts. In my view, this is not before time!!! Ann Sutton has, and continues to be, an inspirational light in the weaving world, not...

A surprise from New Zealand…

A surprise from New Zealand…

by StaceyW | Sep 11, 2022 | Art, Creativity, Education, Exhibitions, Nature, Teaching, textiles, Travel, Weaving

When crocodiles meet looms…. (it’s all in the teeth)

by StaceyW | Aug 14, 2022 | Creativity, Education, Hints n Tips, Life, Teaching, Weaving

In the current edition of Complex Weavers Journal, I wrote an article about my Covid Chaos series (see last blog post). In it, I mentioned that my temples were not big enough to be of use in my project and my AVL (a very early one from the 1980s) does not have side...

Spontaneous, planned or evolving? What does creativity mean to you?

Spontaneous, planned or evolving? What does creativity mean to you?

by StaceyW | Jul 31, 2022 | Art, Creativity, Education, Life, Teaching, textiles, Weaving

On my recent travels, one of my travelling companions asked about my job. People are always fascinated when you say you’re a weaver. Most don’t know what a weaver is any more and he was curious. When I said that as a teacher, writer and artist I strive to unlock...
