Weaving II extends the information in Weaving I and includes the theory presented in the class formerly called Introduction to Complex Weaves. Formal class hours are daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, but the classroom and school library are available to students 24 hours a day. I is for new, intermediate, and advanced beginners. Instruction covers everything a weaver should know about basic drafting and designing, and successful warping and weaving. Warping demonstrations and hands-on emphasize how and why things work.
Students also learn good weaving techniques for achieving smooth selvedges and an even beat.
The basic weave structures are illustrated with extensive sample weaving. In-depth instruction covers the use of units, blocks, and profile drafts so that students learn to create pattern in all block weaves. Monday, September 29 - Friday, October 3 Weaving IV Weaving IV is designed for weavers who have experience in weave structures produced on multishaft looms or drawlooms. In seminar style, students share discoveries, problems, solutions, goals, ideas, innovations, loom modifications, etc., and critique each other's work. Instruction covers the theory of pattern weave structures as applied to the drawloom.
