DESCRIPTION: A Survey Of Loom Controlled Lace
Learn about the various types of loom- controlled lace weaves through illustrated lecture, guided practice; and hands-on weaving. Discover the subtle differences between the various lace weaves, how to tell them apart and why one may be more appropriate than another for a given project or a particular loom. Learn to use lace weaves to create beautiful and unusual textiles. Students will each bring a loom, pre-threaded to a design provided by the instructor.
Each workshop participant will leave the class with their own annotated Lace Weave workbook and set of samples. Students will be able to weave an assortment of samples on looms threaded to a variety of Lace Weaves. This is the great advantage of conducting the class in the round robin style where participants rotate through the various looms in class.
