Participants will experiment with several of these weave structures, studying them from the perspective of their plain weave roots. The over-one, under-one plain weave interlacement is the foundation of numerous weaving patterns and techniques, including Beiderwand, deflected double weave, double weave, color-and-weave effects, thick and thin, warp rep, Ms and Os, handwoven lace, tapestry, transparency, etc. List materials to be provided by Workshop Leader: Copies of the book, Weaving Outside the Box, plus additional weft yarns for experimenting Karen Donde – This Doesn’t Look Like Plain Weave For intermediate to advanced weavers: those who know how to dress a loom and read a draft.Įxperience Level: Intermediate to advanced – must know how to dress a loom and read a draftĮquipment Provided by Students: Loom, shuttles, warp and weft yarns, and all the necessary tools for weaving The magic happens in the finishing, as our samples develop pleats, puffs, crinkles, and curves after washing. During the workshop, we will study the factors that contribute to dimension in weaving: structure, active and inactive yarns, and finishing techniques. Weavers will choose one of the projects from the book (for 4, 6, 8, or 16 shaft looms) and arrive at the workshop with their looms warped and ready to weave. But what about texture, which is often overlooked? To promote this aspect of weaving, Denise Kovnat has written a book, Weaving Outside the Box: 12 Projects for Making Dimensional Cloth, which serves as the basis for this workshop. Weavers usually think of color and structure as the most expressive elements in our craft.
