Intermediate Weaving: Double Weave
Class - Textiles | Available
Take basic weaving on a new journey! In this fun workshop, learn how to design and weave double-width cloth, cloth tubes, and double layers where the colors reverse themselves on the front and back of the cloth. With double weave, fabric can be wider, have more dimensions, deflect and defy being flat! We will work with Sawtooth’s four harness looms on a sampler and a small project. Students can work on their looms between class times, too. This is an intermediate class. To take this class students should already know how to: • how to wind their threads on a warping board • how to thread a loom and wind on the warp threads • how to determine their project threads (after the sampler).
**Please note: This class will meet on Thursday and Friday from 6 - 8 pm and then on Saturday from 10 am - 4pm.
All supplies included, but if students have specific yarn they want to use, please feel free to bring it! Ages 14 and up.
