This workshop is inspired by weft-looping techniques that date back to cloths from 2,000 BCE found at Deir-el-Bahari. We will experiment with a continuous loop pile weave structure to create a densely packed fabric. Participants are encouraged to play with textured yarn and color combinations, as well as unconventional materials, such as: fabric strips, plastic bags, or other yarn-like materials.

The primary techniques I will cover include:

• Continuous loop pile weaving

• Weaver’s knot

• Finishing a weaving

Objectives

• Understanding the fundamentals of continuous weft pile weaving

• Exploring color theory with fiber material

Class fee is $75 for this three-hour, live online workshop.*

*I will be donating 10% of all workshop proceeds to Able ARTS Work.

Limited seats available.
