About

Love to weave, but hate to warp? Want more versatility from a single warp? Then this is a workshop for you!

You'll warp your loom with your choice of one of three four-shaft threadings and perform an extreme makeover and weave it many different ways — from twill, lace, and overshot to swivel, corduroy, deflected weft, and double-faced. At the same time, you'll be presented with the basics of different structures and how to adapt a single threading to weave a number of different weaves, including concepts such as star vs. rose fashion, weaving on opposites, and echo treadling.

Note: This is not a round-robin workshop.

Details

  • A $15 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers instructional materials.

    • Basic weaving equipment (or use the studio's): shuttles, scissors, etc.

You should have basic weaving experience and be comfortable warping your own loom.

Robyn Spady

Robyn has been weaving for more than 50 years. She completed Handweaver's Guide of America's certificate of excellence in handweaving in 2004 with the specialized study of loom-controlled stitched double cloth. Robyn is fascinated by the infinite possibilities of crossing threads and loves coming up with new ideas to create fabric and transform it into something new and exciting.
