This week I went to an exhibition by Megan Walsh-Cheek, who has been working on some wonderful experimental weaving. Unfortunately most of my photos didn't come out well, but Megan has kindly given me permission to show her work here, and one of my favourites did photograph well:

weaving from Megan Walsh-Cheek |
What I liked so much was not just the variety of materials she used, such as fabric and lace strips, as well as yarns and threads, plus sticks of various kinds, but also the fact that she wove around the shape of the sticks, so that when a stick curved, so did the weaving. She also made some fantastic vessels which can be seen on her etsy shop, see below.
The exhibition has now finished, but you can see the exhibits on her
etsy shop here, it is lovely to look at them again.
