Special Note: This class begins on THURSDAY from 1:00 to 5:00 pm and continues on FRIDAY, SATURDAY and ending at 4:30 pm SUNDAY.
This three and a half day introductory workshop is designed for those that have never woven before or those that need a refresher course. You will learn the basic techniques of weaving; winding a warp, dressing the loom, and weaving a finished piece. You will explore the basic woven structures – plain weave and twills in their many variations. You will learn about designing and drafting a project and calculating yarn requirements. You will also learn about looms and equipment, yarns, and finishing techniques. In addition, you will be able to take full advantage of NEWS: attending general lectures and exhibits while meeting other weavers. After completing this workshop you will be able to warp a loom, weave on your own and know where help is readily available.
