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

BIO
Lolli Jacobsen has come out of retirement to teach this class to try to pass on a wealth of knowledge learned in more than 50 years of weaving and teaching.  Lolli learned to weave as an apprentice in Denmark in 1968.  She ran the Mendocino Art Center’s textile programs for most of 30 years, most notably MAC Textile Apprenticeship Program 1976 – 1991.  She also taught fabric printing and dyeing, weaving, textile history and other textile related classes through the College of the Redwoods and Mendocino College.  In 1993, she and a group of dreamers started Pacific Textile Arts to support, share and celebrate the fiber arts.
