Rag Weaving and Material Meaning
Session Three: June 16-28

Rachel Meginnes
Rag Weaving and Material Meaning

Part concept-based, part technique-based, this workshop will layer the fundamentals of weaving on a loom with the deeper meaning materials hold. Taking a no-holds-barred approach, we will work with found materials such as paper, fabric, flora and more, and learn to ready these materials for weaving on a floor loom. We will discuss the way meaning embeds itself in material and explore how the act of collecting and reclaiming can embolden one’s work. Students should bring a collection of materials (old clothes, fabric, ephemera) as well as digital imagery they might like to play with. They can expect to leave with exploratory studies, finished weavings, and knowledge of how to warp and weave basic structures on a 4-harness loom. All levels. Second-floor textiles studio.
