Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11/16-12/9 (Skipping Thanksgiving Week) This project class is a great follow-up for introductory students as well as a fun activity for accomplished weavers. Mixing plain weave plus embellishments with sections of twill weave variations, students will weave two pillow tops. Materials will be provided for the two tops that cover 18" x 18" pillow inserts. At the first class, students will be provided with a list of supplies to purchase that are needed to complete the pillows. Hands-on instruction for constructing the pillows with "envelope-style" backs will take place during the last two class sessions.

Patton, Carol

Carol Patton holds a B.S. and M. Ed. in Vocational Home Economics Education from the University of Illinois. In 2015, she retired from the Wilkes County School System after a 38-year teaching career in Family and Consumer Science in both North Carolina and Illinois. Inspired to learn the art of weaving after inheriting her late mother’s loom, Carol learned to weave here at Sawtooth under the instruction of Pat Mauck. Realizing that “weaving possibilities” were endless, Carol continued to take many subsequent classes after that introductory class in 2007. At her home studio, Carol creates a variety of handwoven items for personal style and home décor on a wide range of looms- from multi-shaft floor looms to small hand-held pin looms. Carol sells her handwovens at the Sawtooth Gift Shop, Little River Gallery in Sparta, NC, and the new Blue Ridge Artisan Center housed within the 1915 Building in Wilkesboro, NC. Carol also teaches weaving classes for both youth and adults here at Sawtooth.
