It’s been a fun week! Yesterday I had the very great pleasure of joining the Loom Shed‘s Liz and Louise and their lovely zoom audience and to share the Woven Optical Illusions project with them. I really enjoyed myself and judging by some of the lovely emails I have received since, so did they! Thank you so much to the Loom Shed. It’s always such fun to share weaving passions and Woven Optical Illusions has a lot of content to share!! As the presentation was only for 1 hour (with Q&A) I had to leave so much stuff out, but it was still packed full of illusions, effects and weaving techniques.

Also this week I have the greatest pleasure in helping to send out this Call for Entry for the second virtual weaving exhibition organised by the International Weaving Network, of which I am a member. I have further information so if you want to know more, do email me at theloomroomfrance@gmail.com
