Non-NHWG members $130, space permitting
Materials fee: $10 to be paid to the instructor at the workshop.
Class Description
This class will cover the principles of summer and winter. We shall discuss different
treadling methods associated with this weave structure and the effect they have
on the appearance of the cloth. In order to gain a clear understanding of how the
tie-up is developed, each participant will create a 6-block profile draft on paper
and then work out the tie-up required to weave that design. There will be an
on-loom component to the workshop, either a round robin or gamp (still to be
determined). Participants will need to dress their 4- or 8-shaft loom in advance
of the workshop. You will receive instructions for preparation with your registration
confirmation.
Remember
The Guild has two looms available for loan to those who don't have portable
workshop looms! Also,you can ask for an Education Grant to help defray the
cost of attending!
