Prue Simmons first discovered the fun and easy craft of Japanese SAORI weaving when living and exploring the mountains of Japan in 2014 and is one of only three accredited and fully licensed SAORI teachers and distributors for SAORI equipment here in Australia.
Prue fell in love with the easy freestyle creativity of SAORI weaving, enabling the weaver to very quickly make beautiful cloth from any type of yarn. Her deep love of Japanese crafts, culture and language has also seen her specialise in a handcrafted eco-dye called Bengala.
Prue teaches in-person and online classes in these beautiful earthy Japanese eco-dyes, as well as indigo dyeing sessions and SAORI weaving workshops at her studio in Clunes in Central Victoria, and in Ballarat and Melbourne.
As a licensed distributor of SAORI weaving equipment and yarns, Prue offers full training and ongoing mentoring and support with all looms sold through Dyeing To Weave to ensure that you stay CONFIDENT, SUPPORTED and INSPIRED using your loom at home, and in all stages of your SAORI weaving journey.
