Instructor: Allison Teeples

Date: Saturday, August 1

Time:  10:00 – 4:00

Maximum number of students: 5

Prerequisites:  this is an INTERMEDIATE class.  Students must be able to direct warp a rigid heddle loom with little to no assistance. You may bring your own loom to use.  It must be fully assembled and in working order prior to class.

Class Description: Jane Patrick, author of The Weaver's Idea Book: Creative Cloth on a Rigid Heddle Loom, said, "There's nothing plain about plain weave." By changing color and patterns of color in the warp and weft of your handwovens, beautiful designs will emerge in plain weave. Color and Weave is the process of doing just that. It's also a great opportunity to play with different colors and see how they interact.

In this 6-hour class, students will choose between completing a color and weave sampler or creating their own design. This class will also cover basic color theory, as well as a review of project planning. You will see why plain weave isn't plain at all!
