Twills are one of the most versatile weaves to explore, with lovely patterns, soft draping fabrics or dense rugs and dynamic color play. Twills are the basic weave structure for denim jeans, traditional overshot and have patterns with the names “rosepath”, “crackle” and “shadow weave.” Students will learn a bit of weaving history, how to read drafts/recipes and create their own, explore a variety of twills and plaid, choose yarns that are best for this project, set up a floor loom and create fabric. Samples are encouraged. Students can weave on their projects outside of class time in the studio. **No Class on Wednesday, June 19th.

Gauldin, Kathryn

She studied art at UNCG, WCU, Haywood Production Crafts program and has a BA in Art from High Point College and continues to make mistakes and learn new things. She exhibits locally, participates in residencies and presents workshops. Kathryn has been awarded several grants that fund new projects that are easily found on social media and local galleries.
