Class Description: This will be a project rather than sampler oriented class. Each student will be able to make and take home at least two, possibly more, actual scarves, stoles, towels, placemats, runners, pillow faces, and/or rugs.
We will use the projects as a means of trying a variety of materials—cotton, wool, alpaca, silk, maybe linen—in a variety of threadings/weave structures including twills, overshot, summer and winter, lace and possibly others.
Using PTArts looms we will try several approaches to warping, threading, beaming on and weaving in an attempt to learn and share as much as possible in the 6 weeks. Special attention will be given to choosing yarns and setts; understanding patterns, and as many tricks of the trade as present themselves.
Some weaving experience would be helpful, but the class is also open to beginners.
Most materials and equipment and handouts provided for a $20 lab fee (paid to instructor)
Recommended book: Learning to Weave by Deborah Chandler is available on loan through Pacific Textile Arts
