Class Description: This is a comprehensive 3 day evening class, taught on floor looms or table looms (re: availability), from start to finish. Stringing the loom is the true weaver’s foundation for “setting design” and weaving the cloth is his/her “process”. From here, an infinite variety of patterns can ultimately be accomplished. We will have a chance to tap into tabbies, twills, and some double shuttle color patterns. We will study color dynamics and yarn selection. Once cut from the loom, your woven sampler will be completed in class and can later be turned into pillows, mats, handbags or scarves.

| 111108 - Bat Wing Wrap-5 days | ||||
| Sandra Doak Tuesday - Saturday, November 11-15, 2008 Plus, 1 hr. on a follow up day for sewing directions TBA with student. 10-4 each day (Thurs. until 8pm) (1/2 hr. lunch BYO) $160 + $ 25 studio fee. Plan to shop according to your preferences of yarn for this project. Beginners Level: Should know how to make a warp, dress a loom and have had some previous weaving experience. Not a learning to weave class. Sandra will help you choose the right fibers to complete a successful “Bat Wing Wrap” (how appropriate for the Austin area). This is a classic style that can be worn year round. This project is plain weave construction with emphasis on color and texture. You will make a warp and dress your loom using a pre-calculated project plan and weave off your project. I have included two studio days plus extended hours on Thursday until 8pm to work independently for extra threading or weaving time if needed. There will be a discussion on finishing and care for your new garment. You will take your woven fabric home and hand wash. Each student will schedule a follow up sewing hour, to be shown how to join the woven fabric, using a sewing machine, to make your “Bat Wing Wrap”. No cutting involved! You can use this almost invisible and reversible sewing method many times over to join most hand-woven fabrics. |
