LACEY WEAVES
2 Days $120
Saturday, June 21 & Sunday, June 22, 9:30-4:30pm
Susan Wilson, instructor
Lacey weaves have been a favorite of generations of handweavers. Weaver-controlled techniques, e.g. Brooks bouquet and leno, allow the weaver to place the lacey areas wherever desired in the cloth. Pictorial images and geometric shapes can be created at will. Lace is created “automatically” using the loom-controlled lace structures, e.g. huck, Swedish lace and Bronson lace. Students will create a sampler of a variety of weaver-controlled techniques and one 4-shaft or 8-shaft loom-controlled structure. Drafting principles for several loom-controlled structures, as well as techniques for creating lace on other threadings, will be covered. ADVANCED BEGINNER OR INTERMEDIATE WEAVING SKILLS REQUIRED. MUST BE ABLE TO WARP A LOOM WITH EVEN TENSION, WEAVE BALANCED PLAIN WEAVE AND READ A DRAFT.

TREADLING VARIATIONS
2 Days $120
Saturday, August 30 & Sunday August 31, 9:30-4:30pm
Susan Wilson, instructor
Every weave structure is defined by its own threading and treadling, but there is no “law” that says we have to weave in the traditional manner. In this workshop learn how familiar pattern weaves can be dramatically altered by treadling in the manner of other weaves, e.g. Bronson lace, and by using special treadling methods, e.g. polychrome, boundweave, swivel. Students will choose one weave structure (overshot, summer and winter, or crackle) with which to explore many treadlings on their own looms. Complete instructions for weaving samplers of all three structures will be provided.
ADVANCED BEGINNER OR INTERMEDIATE WEAVING SKILLS REQUIRED. MUST BE ABLE TO WARP A LOOM WITH EVEN TENSION, WEAVE BALANCED PLAIN WEAVE AND READ A DRAFT. USE OF A 4 SHAFT LOOM REQUIRED.
