Nalbinding with Sally Pointer

We begin with a short overview to the different main stitch groups found globally and explore how the technique develops out of cordage, with experiments into cord-as-you-go methods, before moving on to explore simple looping (potentially with twisted and hourglass variations both of which are seen in examples from Oceania), looping-around-a-core, Coptic stitch, York stitch and finally Oslo stitch. Each participant is supplied with needles to keep, fibre for cordage practice, and woollen yarns to work samples with as well as a professionally printed booklet of class notes. Please let us know if anyone is unable to work with wool yarn. BYO lunch, fridge and microwave available. Tea and coffee facilities provided.
