Beginning Weaving Weekend

Instructor:
Thomas E. Knisely

Fee: $295.00

This is not a substitute for our week long class but an alternative for all of you with hectic schedules who want to take a comprehensive weaving class. Students will learn to plan and measure a scarf warp, warp a loom and weave their scarf the first day, finishing the ends on Saturday evening. Sunday will offer each student the opportunity to study and weave a sampler of different twills in a gamp arrangement. Your sampler will make a lovely wall hanging as well as a learning tool to refer back to many times.

Japanese Braiding on the Takadai

Instructor:
Rodrick Owens
|
|
| |
Fee: $250.00

The basic structure of the Takadai braids is plain and twill weave, the braids also come in double layer structure. The single layer braids are thinner, wider and because they are made on the bias more flexible than the Marudai braids. The workshop is about flexibility and as far as possible will be tailored to meet the needs of each student. Those with specific projects in mind may like to make contact with the instructor to discuss
their proposed plans. Equipment is not supplied for this class. Class limited to 12.
