Color and Weave effects are like magic! You will create patterns that look different from the actual weave structures by using yarns with contrasting color values. You can even create Color and Weave patterns on rigid heddle looms (plain weave or pick-up), 4-shaft and 8-shaft (or more) table or floor looms. It is exciting to see the woven patterns emerge from otherwise ordinary weave structures. The patterns are often graphic, sometimes optical.
This workshop is a round robin format. You will bring a pre-threaded loom and weave samples on your loom plus all of the other looms. You will leave with a small reference library of color-and-weave designs that can be used for future projects.
Because there is a wide range of color-and-weave patterns, this workshop is for new weavers (who can read a draft and thread a loom), intermediate and advanced weavers. You will receive a custom weave draft suited to your experience level and the type of loom you will bring.
