Full Details:

Over the years Rowan has endeavoured to produce innovative and exciting knitwear designs. From the early days they have pushed the knitting boundaries, designers such as Kaffe Fassett provided incredible images of colour knitting whilst more recently Debbie Abrahams has amazed with her beaded throw designs.

In 2008 it will be Rowan’s 30th Birthday and this extra special workshop will run alongside their exciting anniversary exhibition which will be held at The North Light gallery, just 4 miles from Rowan. Over the course of two days, participants will be encouraged to have a go at all the techniques seen in iconic designs of the past. They will be able to produce samples for each technique, such as colour-work, beading and textural stitch work, which they can then make up into either a bag or wall hanging to take home as a keepsake of their weekend.

Proceedings will kick off with a drinks reception and private viewing of the exhibition on the Friday evening. Workshops will then be held in the exhibition halls on the following two days. In addition to the normal weekend workshop itinerary, you will have the chance to take part in a guided walk the through the outstanding Yorkshire countryside surrounding the Rowan Mill in Homfirth on the Saturday evening. You can choose to have a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous walk.

Throughout the weekend current and past Rowan Designers will be on hand to chat and sign publications, whilst the workshop tutors will be leading Design Consultants and authors from the Rowan Team. All materials will be provided, but please bring along your knitting workbag which should contain various needle sizes, scissors, stitch holders and sewing needles.

The workshops on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September 2008 run from 09:30am to 4pm. Lunch and refreshments are included.
