Morning (11AM): “Exploring Double Huck”
(Afternoon Program: Plaid Llama)
Two layers of huck lace: what can they do?
One of the happy surprises of this structure is just how appealing a double huck fabric is. From elegant scarves with beautiful drape, to towels and blankets with an irresistible ‘bounce’, it is lovely to wear and to handle. Cally will introduce double huck and take you on a tour through her experimentation with this flexible and attractive structure.
About Cally:
Cally Booker lives and weaves in Dundee on the east coast of Scotland. She is drawn to places at the edge, where land and water meet, and in her work explores lines and boundaries, positive and negative, using multi-layered structures which hide and reveal. She achieves this by combining digital design tools with the slow processes of hand-dyeing and hand-weaving. From 2018 - 2021 Cally was a member of the Aural Textiles project, researching ways of incorporating sound as a design source into her creative practice. Cally’s work has been exhibited around the UK and internationally. She is a member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and a past president of Complex Weavers.
