During this two-day class students will have the opportunity to complete a multiple weave structure gamp on a floor loom. The gamp is a sample of different structures or weaving patterns and can be used for future reference when planning projects. The weave structures included will be plain weave, twill, overshot, rosepath, and huck. Under the guidance of the instructor, students will wind a multi-color warp and dress and thread a loom. They will also be introduced to working with two shuttles. Students will build on their knowledge of reading and interpreting drafts and will learn more about various weave structures.
This class is for those who have taken BW 101 Learn to Weave and/or BW 201 Simple Twill Striped Towels Class, or for those with some weaving experience. It is also a good refresher for those who haven’t woven for a while and would like to get back into the craft.
Fibers/materials for this class will be provided by the instructor. Students should be prepared to pay the $10 packet fee along with the materials fee (will vary) on the first day of class. Cash or checks only will be accepted.
Students should pack a lunch and a beverage. A refrigerator and microwave are available
