TEXTILES – FALL CONCENTRATION
Thinking with the Loom
Starting from the basics of planning a project and dressing the loom, we will explore how the loom can be a partner in thinking about structure, use, and meaning. We will learn about traditional patterns and learn to draft our own. We will study color interactions and use dye processes such as ikat, woven shibori, and warp painting to make ever more intentional choices about desired results. We will be working toward a sense of fluency with the loom so we can express our ideas with precision and confidently combine skills to create unique cloth. All levels. Lower textiles studio.
Note: this workshop takes place in a second-floor, walk-up studio that is made partially accessible with a stair lift.
Studio artist; teaching: Arrowmont (TN); KANEKO (NE), Peters Valley (NJ), University of Wisconsin-Madison (WI); residencies: Praxis Fiber Workshop Digital Weaving Lab (OH), Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library (DE), Alabama Chanin Studio (AL).
