Things are slowly improving, so here are details of a couple of forthcoming events:<br />
<br />
Helmshore Mills Textile Museum is now open again for the Summer Season on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and the cafe will also be open serving soup, sandwiches, cakes and beverages. On June 29th it is the Midsummer Market/Fair and I will be there demonstrating weaving and other traditional textile techniques.<br />
<br />
In August 2019 I will be tutoring a week long Boundweave workshop at the Association of Guilds of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers Summer School at Askham Bryan near York.<br />
<br />
In 2020, I will again be running two residential weaving workshops at Waddow Hall near Clitheroe in February and September, but I'm afraid these are both fully booked already!<br />
<br />
I continue to teach weaving classes in my garden workshop/studio but I am currently unable to take on new students, at least until such time as my hand has started to function more effectively.Jane Flanaganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14286235189756577084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562485639939576351.post-83739452681506792152018-09-10T12:38:00.000+01:002018-09-10T12:38:32.551+01:00Bountiful Exhibition of WeavingOn October 20th 2018 is the first ever Exhibition and Open Day of our talented and enthusiastic group, Lostock Weavers.<br />

<div>I am increasingly being asked for information about the residential weaving weekends I run twice a year at Waddow Hall near Clitheroe, so I will add those details here very soon. However, both the February 2018 weekend and the four-night long weekend in September 2018 are now fully-booked with waiting lists…sorry about that! Please email me if you wish to be put on a waiting list and to receive full details of these workshops. <a href="mailto:janesflanagan@yahoo.co.uk">janesflanagan@yahoo.co.uk</a></div>

Several of my weaving students have contributed to this collection, and I am grateful for their permission to use the photos. This collection is a work in progress!<br />

We also presented the woven cushions to the staff and Friends in a lovely informal ceremony. I was so busy that I didn't get time to take many photos of work! I will of course post these as soon as they start coming in from the participants!<br />

I have been busy! My latest commission has been to recreate, as closely as possible, the original fabric used to cover the speakers on certain models of Dansette record players from the 1950s and 60s. This has been a real challenge, but an enjoyable and rewarding one. Starting from analysing the original fragments (very fragile, nicotine-stained and damaged) to ascertain the yarns, the sett and the weave structure, I sampled extensively until the best possible likeness was achieved. The photo shows the final sample in situ in a newly-renovated Dansette, brought back to life by Mike from Dansette <a href="http://dansette.com/">http:/dansette.com</a><br />
Looking mighty fine! Now all I need to do is weave the remaining 20 metres!Jane Flanaganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14286235189756577084noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562485639939576351.post-2524145252705789322017-06-06T17:27:00.000+01:002017-06-06T17:27:19.579+01:00New Lostock Weavers Group<br />
It has been too long a time since my last post. Life has got in the way, but now things are improving and the most exciting news is that we now have a regular monthly weaving group, right here in Lostock and available to weavers from around the north west of England.<br />
This is not a class, or a guild, but an opportunity for weavers to bring a loom, get together and weave, talk about weaving and exchange ideas and knowledge with like-minded people.<br />
Lostock Parish Centre is a modern, light and well-equipped venue only 5 minutes from Junction 5 of the M61 and less than 5 minutes walk from Lostock railway station.<br />
The first gathering was held on Saturday May 13th, and the next dates booked are June 17th, July 15th, August 12th, September 16th and October 21st.<br />
Places are limited so it is essential to pre-book by contacting me at janesflanagan@yahoo.co.uk or on 07772 455536.<br />
The group runs from 10-4 and there is a charge of £20 per person per day, which includes drinks and biscuits-but please bring a packed lunch.<br />
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!<br />

<br />
I never made it to Kendal Wool Gathering, due to illness, and this year I have decided to make quite a few changes.<br />
<br />
I shall be at the Rheged Knit and Stitch as usual on April 17th-18th, but this is the <b>only</b> event as such that I am planning on participating in this year, and where I shall be taking my Estonian wool, which is a real shame and I am so sorry to those loyal customers who love this product. But I simply don't have the time to maintain the website and keep up to date with orders as I am now doing so much more teaching. I am not applying to Woolfest or Yarndale but I do have some bits and bobs of stock left so do email me if you are interested in the Estonian wool-but I shall not be re-ordering for the foreseeable future.<br />
<br />
The Shed is always full of people wanting to learn to weave, and this means I have less room for stock and other paraphernalia. I still keep managing to accumulate looms though.....<br />
<br />
This year I need to concentrate on my teaching and on my own design and weaving work-moreover, and probably more importantly, on improving my own health. As well as arthritis in the creaky old knees I seem to have developed a back problem for which I shall be having intensive physiotherapy.<br />
This has prevented me from getting anywhere near a loom for the last few weeks other than to teach. Understandably this has made me even grumpier than ever....<br />
<br />
In better news!!!! No creaking joints were going to keep me away from Waddow Hall and 15 of us enjoyed a wonderful weekend of weaving again recently. I wish I had taken more photos but those of you who were there please do send some on so that I can put them on the blog. There was such an array of different looms, yarns, apparatus, not to mention Carol and her "Spinning Corner", and the constant, well what is the collective term for the sound made by a roomful of weavers? A THRUMBLE maybe?<br />
<br />
The four day course in September is now full apart from those last minute places which always seem to materialise and which I never seem to be able to turn down.<br />
<br />
That's enough from me for now-what have I forgotten? Loads I'm sure.Jane Flanaganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14286235189756577084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562485639939576351.post-24588218948521891742015-11-27T17:28:00.001+00:002015-11-27T17:28:25.551+00:00Helmshore Xmas Fair-happy and yet very, very sad......Tomorrow, Saturday 28th November, is the wonderful Xmas Fair at Helmshore Mills Textile Museum, with around 40 stalls, festive entertainment and great food.<br />
<br />
However, sadly this may be the last such event at Helmshore, at least for the foreseeable future, as drastic financial cutbacks by Lancashire County Council have meant that the mill and Queen Street Mill in Burnley are due for closure early next year.<br />
<br />
A campaign has been started to try to find investors, to fundraise and basically explore every possible avenue to keep this vital part of our cultural history alive.<br />
<br />
Show your support by visiting the Xmas Fair and signing the petition, becoming involved as a volunteer, writing to your MP and anything else you can think of.<br />
<br />
I shall endeavour to post updates as soon as I know what is due to happen next.Jane Flanaganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14286235189756577084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562485639939576351.post-84247422069777744912015-10-07T16:47:00.001+01:002015-10-07T16:47:58.456+01:00Kendal Wool GatheringI had a fab time at Yarndale-my most successful selling event to date! It was great to see so many familiar friendly faces and make contact with customers new and old. There was also a lot of interest in the September weaving course at Waddow next year. I need to update my website and get organised.<br />
After a few days enjoying the sun in a camper van in Scotland (yes we really did!) next on the horizon is Kendal Wool Gathering in 3 week's time.<br />
