About

Love to weave, but hate to warp? Want more versatility from a single warp? Then this is a workshop for you!

You'll warp your loom with your choice of one of three four-shaft threadings and perform an extreme makeover and weave it many different ways — from twill, lace, and overshot to swivel, corduroy, deflected weft, and double-faced. At the same time, you'll be presented with the basics of different structures and how to adapt a single threading to weave a number of different weaves, including concepts such as star vs. rose fashion, weaving on opposites, and echo treadling.

Note: This is not a round-robin workshop.

Materials

  • A $15 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers instructional materials.
  • You should bring and prepare:
    • Warp (warping instructions and loom assignments will be sent before the class begins)
    • Wefts
    • Basic weaving equipment (or use the studio's): shuttles, scissors, etc.

Prerequisites

You should have basic weaving experience and be comfortable warping your own loom. 

Class Policies

Students 14 and older are welcome.
