In this 3 day workshop, students will create multiple combinations of weave structures using only four shafts and a straight threading. Only tie-ups and treadling are changed between samples. Most of these combinations would normally require a minimum of eight shafts. Students will experiment with combinations of twills, summer and winter, double weave, Han damask, taqueté, piqué and more! Woven samples include continuous, complementary, and supplementary wefts, as well as wefts which combine to produce shading for pictorial weaving.

Although students will not be able to complete all of the samples in class, they will leave with the ability to complete them at home with all of the drafts and instructions.
Equipment needed: either a pre-warped table or floor loom, three 10” – 14” flat shuttles plus one one other shuttle of your choosing that will be comfortable to use with an 8 to 9-inch wide warp, and the usual weaving equipment.
