We are pleased to have Jason Collingwood, world renowned rug weaver and teacher, return to BARN to teach this 3 session class, Introduction to Rug Weaving Using Plain Weave.

An ideal course for those wishing to try out rug weaving for the first time, though with enough ‘tricks’ to also suit the more experienced rug weaver.

Students will learn how to make a strong serviceable rug (plain weave being an excellent structure for rugs). Initially weaving stripes and spots using two colors, learning how to overcome the selvage problems inherent in each different design. Clasped wefts, crossed wefts and compensated inlay will be covered. Each of these techniques allows the weaver more freedom with design.

The class will include twining at the beginning and end of the rug, darning in of the loose ends, use of the temple and many other invaluable tips for successful rug weaving.
