Sunday 27 September, 2-4.30 p.m.: Workshop, Introduction to Intarsia with Echo Godfrey at Museum of the Home
Museum of the Home, 136 Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA
The Museum of the Home is the only museum in the world dedicated to exploring the meaning and experience of home. Housed within historic almshouses in East London, the museum examines how domestic life has evolved over the past four centuries through period interiors, everyday objects and contemporary displays. Through exhibitions, collections and public programmes, the museum invites visitors to consider how homes reflect changing ideas about family, identity, work, technology and community.
Event Description
In this workshop you will learn how to use the intarsia colourwork technique to create shapes, pictures, and blocks of colour in your knitting.
The workshop will include an introduction to the technique, how to read intarsia charts, and knitting up your own sample of intarsia using charts designed for the session, inspired by Museum of the Home.
We will have time to look at examples of intarsia used in garments and finished objects, and talk through the ways this technique could be used in your future knitting projects. This workshop has a smaller group size, allowing time for one-on-one guidance and advice.
You will leave this workshop with a solid understanding of the technique, a set of charts and bobbins for future projects, the sample you started creating, and greater confidence to start using intarsia in future projects
Required materials:
- Bring your own yarn with appropriately sized needles. You will need two or more contrasting colours in the same weight of yarn (DK, aran or worsted weight are recommended)
- Alternatively, yarn and needle kits will be available for purchase on the day, with costs estimated at £5-10 for everything you’ll need
This workshop is suitable for confident beginners to intermediate and advanced knitters. The requirements are that you can comfortably knit, purl, and cast on.
This workshop is led and developed by Echo Godfrey, Curatorial Officer at Museum of the Home. Echo has a degree in Knitwear, a Masters in Textile Conservation, and has 20+ years of knitting experience.
Tickets £35.00
