Continuous Pile Weaving Workshop

Saturday, November 7, 2020
from 11am to 1pm PST

This is an interactive, online workshop that will be on Zoom.
All participants will be emailed a link to access the workshop 2 days prior to the event.

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.
