TAPESTRY WEAVING ON RIGID HEDDLE OR HARNESS LOOM

NOTE: The weaving class listed below is designed for those who have woven tapestry techniques before or have taken our Introduction to Tapestry Weaving class.

TRANSPARENT TAPESTRIES

In this class, we will be creating designs on plain weave fabric using inlaid supplemental wefts. This technique is a bit faster than traditional tapestry and creates a lightweight ground cloth with individual forms woven within.  Use up your oddments and have fun with color!  We recommend that you bring your own loom, but you may also rent one from us.  By Bea Bonanno.

WEFT-FACED WEAVING TECHNIQUES

Stripes, pick-and-pick, hatching, and Soumak are techniques you will learn to create colorful designs and textures in a weft-faced fabric woven in plain weave.  You will learn techniques that can be used in rugs, tapestries, placemats, or any item that calls for a dense fabric.  In class, you will weave a small rug and weave at 24 ppi to ensure a dense and weft-faced fabric.  Bring at least 2 colors of Sport weight yarn (1600 ypp) for the weft, but the more colors you bring, the more creative you can be.   You can bring a pre-threaded rigid heddle loom or harness loom with either a 7.5- or 8-dent heddle/reed to class, but you may also rent one from us.  By Bea Bonanno.
