Do the terms “block design” and “profile draft” bewilder you? Are you interested in developing new patterns and pushing your loom to new limits? Whether you have a four-shaft loom and want to expand its potential or want to better understand what to with all those shafts, then this workshop is for you! Through presentation, discussion, and weaving, you will develop a practical understanding of blocks, profile drafts, and how to use them to create new exciting drafts. You will also examine the fundamental building blocks of many weave structures and how they can be manipulated into new designs and open up an unlimited number of new possibilities.
Linda Hartshorn will be joining us to share her love of weaving and dyeing. We are very lucky to have with us at this time as she looks forward to stepping into semi-retirement in 2024.
Linda is a weaver and dyer, known for her unique dyework and lively use of color in her handwoven textiles. Linda weaves and dyes in her home on the redwood coast of northern California, and teaches weaving at the Ink People Center for the Arts in Eureka. Linda enjoys leading workshops and brings her positive, fun and supportive teaching style to events all over the country. She is a two time recipient of the Victor Thomas Jacoby Award for spinners, weavers and dyers.
Linda Hartshorn will guild us through painting our own warps. Painted warps add a whole new dimension to your weaving, and they are so much fun to weave on! Paint a warp with fiber reactive dyes. Learn how to sett a warp emphasis fabric, and how to use warp painting in combination with various weave structures. We'll paint a warp and weave on it in the workshop.
As we close out the year, we invite all recipients of guild scholarships to share with us their experience at the workshop they attended. We would love to hear about new things you learned, what you created, your observations, and recommendations for others to attend this workshop.
After the presentations, we invite everyone to enjoy a potluck with other members of the guild. Bring a dish and your own place setting.
