The Woven Pattern
Session Five: July 14-26

The Woven Pattern
Students in this workshop will explore hand-weaving with a focus on pattern and creating weave drafts. We will begin with the basics of drafting using pencil and paper and then use these drafts to set up looms and weave. Woven patterns will be expanded through experimentation with different treadling sequences, tie-ups, improvisation, and color. As the workshop progresses, we will work with computer software that will function as a gateway to understanding how to read and manipulate patterns from drafting books. Beginning students will learn to wind their warps and set up their looms from scratch. More experienced weavers will have an opportunity for in-depth investigation of weave structures and the option of weaving on an 8-harness loom. All levels. Second-floor textiles studio.
