This class is designed to give the beginning weaver the knowledge and confidence to design their own projects.

Students will examine weaves, including twills, overshot, laces and unit weaves; looking at the basics of these structures while also considering setts and suitable fiber choices. In addition, technical consideration will be discussed such as working with two shuttles, achieving good selvedges and making sure designs and drafts are balanced. Each student will bring a 4 or 8 Harness loom pre-threaded according to instructions that will be assigned to registered students. Everyone will leave with a notebook of samples and handouts and many new directions to follow! |
