Creative Weaving Workshop: Color Mixing
Advertisement
This workshop is designed for those ready to continue weaving on a rigid heddle loom with technical guidance and design support. Creative Weaving Workshops will begin with a quick refresh of weaving techniques and then a demo of a new technique to build your skills. In this workshop we will explore color gradation and color mixing and you will learn tapestry weaving techniques such as weft bundles and hatching to combine and blend different weft yarns to make new colors or to create color transitions for your weaving projects.
The rest of class time is yours to weave whatever you like. Whether you are interested in weaving samples just to practice, creating another mug rug, trying a new color palette, or designing a wall-hanging to decorate your home--this is a great opportunity to use 577’s looms to further your weaving skills—or to unwind and enjoy the weaving process for relaxation. A variety of different yarns will be available for you to get creative with, and looms will be pre-warped. Participants will weave a project of their choice.
Class Note: Participants must have taken Learn to Weave prior to taking a Creative Weaving Workshop. You will work on pre-warped looms 5” in width and be able to weave up to 12” in length. All projects must be cut off loom 15 minutes before the end of the session to allow for cleanup. This class does not include individual instruction on dressing the loom or other techniques not covered in demo or Learn to Weave prerequisite class.
Prerequisite: To register, participants must have successfully completed 577’s Learn to Weave class.
