WEAVING GUEST INSTRUCTORS

 

SPLIT-SHED WEAVING WORKSHOP

You don’t need tapestry techniques or lots of harnesses to weave pictorial images!  Deborah Silver has developed a unique way to weave curves, blend colors, and create multiple combinations of weave structures using only a 4-harness loom and straight threading.   In this 3-day workshop, you will learn how to combine twills, summer and winter, double weave, Han damask, taqueté and more using continuous, complementary, and supplementary wefts for pictorial weaving.  This workshop is for weavers with basic 4-harness loom weaving knowledge, including how to thread a loom, read a 4-harness draft, and weave a 4-harness fabric.  You can bring a pre-threaded 4-harness loom or rent one from us.  The rental fee includes the threading and warp yarn.

 

No refunds or store credit for class cancellations after Oct. 10 unless we find a replacement for you.

SOUMAK & ITS MANY FACES

Soumak is an ancient tapestry technique that can be used to create texture in weaving.   Kennita Tully will present this 3-day workshop beginning with Single Soumak, which includes closed and open techniques as well as a reverse form to create little “dots” on the surface of the weave. On Day 2,  Vertical Soumak, a unique way to add fine vertical or diagonal lines on the surface of weaving, will be introduced. Day 3 will cover Double Soumak for even more textural possibilities. Tapestries demonstrating the effective use of Soumak in a wide variety of ways will be presented each day.

This workshop is for weavers with basic 2-harness loom weaving knowledge.  You can bring a pre-threaded 2-harness loom or rent one from us.  Rigid heddle looms are not suitable for this workshop.  The rental fee includes the threading and warp yarn.
