Saturday & Sunday May 3-4, Saturday, May 1110am-2pm In this class, we’ll bring our weaving fully into three dimensions with multi-layer, double-wide, tubular, and reversible fabrics using doubleweave. In three sessions, the course will cover set-up for 8-shafts allowing up to 4 layers of plain weave, as well as patterned double weave, and doubleweave pick-up for depicting images. This course is ideal for weavers with some experience reading drafts and dressing the loom.Materials from the studio can be used for an added fee, or students can consult with the instructor to source their own yarn. This course spans three 4-hour sessions. Additional work time in the studio is available at an hourly rate. Please arrive well rested and ready to focus. Coffee, tea, and water will be available throughout the session. Please note that this workshop utilizes a floor loom and other equipment which requires simultaneous use of the upper and lower body. Dressing the loom involves sitting for an extended period with concentrated eye and hand work. Those with limited lower body mobility can request use of a table loom. Building access: The Grand on River building has a zero step entrance and single stall restroom with one step down. We are located at the Warren bus stop. Free street parking is available across the street on 17th. Email [email protected] with questions or to discuss a payment plan.
