SATURDAY - SUNDAY ( 2 DAY CLASS)
10:00am - 4pm - Learn to Weave on a Multi-Harness Loom
Instructor: Carol Casavant
This class will teach the basics of weaving: how to prepare the yarn (warp) for the loom, how to thread the loom, and how to read drafts that produce different structures in weaving. The class will take two days with the first day learning how to use a warping board for preparing the warp, and threading the loom with that warp. The second day will focus on weaving a sampler including the affect of color and texture on woven fabric. The intent of this weaving class is twofold; first, experimenting with fiber, color, and patterns, and second, being able to set up a loom and weave, using the notes and the hands-on experience, and any additional reminder guides from digital sources (a reference list will be provided for this purpose). The looms that will be available are called floor looms, the shifting of the “harnesses” are performed through the foot pedals. There are other multi-harness looms such as table looms that fit on stands or tables and have these same harnesses but individually controlled through levers located in the front of the loom. For those who want to bring their own loom, prior approval by the instructor is required. The variety of looms is great with several different ways of manipulating the harnesses, many are quite adequate for the class, others may be fantastic looms, but may not be appropriate for this particular class. Max of 4 students.
