is a wonderful class for a beginning weaver who has
learned to dress a loom and would like to begin exploring block structures. We’ll
focus on Swedish techniques that are beautiful for
household and interior textiles. Halvdräll enables you to
weave textiles that resemble the look of damask or turned twill blocks
on only four shafts, and Monk’s
Belt is considered an art weave in Sweden. You will be able to
choose from an assortment of yarn sizes and fibers,
such as cotton, linen and wool, and weave a towel, table runner, wall
hanging or pillow cover. Yarns
may be purchased in the Sievers Shop or bring your

depending on your choice of fiber and project, plus $10 notebook fee. Your

any finishing details. There will be options for color and design,

8 Exploring
Weave Structures On A Single Warp (June
17-22)
Class
Fee $400
Robyn Spady Would you
like to develop a better understanding of weave structures
without having to re-warp your loom? Did you know the cloth we
produce often has more to do with how we weave it, rather than how the
loom has been warped? Would
you like to achieve more versatility of warp, so you
can weave a multitude of different fabrics on a single warp? Then,
this class is for you! In it you will dress your loom with your
choice of one of three 4-shaft threadings and weave it many different
ways…from
twill, lace and overshot, to swivel, corduroy, deflected
weft, and double-faced. At
the same time you will be presented with the basics
of a variety of structures and how to adapt a single threading to achieve
a number of different weaves, including concepts such as star vs. rose
fashion, tied weave, weaving on opposites, and echo treadling. Yarns
may be purchased in the Sievers Shop or bring your own. Expect
to spend $30-70 for yarns, depending on your choice of fiber and project,
plus $10 notebook fee. Looms and weaving accessories provided.
For intermediate weavers who know how to warp and weave on a multi-harness
floor loom and are able to read a pattern draft.

plain! Time will be spent on reviewing the warping
process and the pattern draft. Examples of suitable
projects will be available for inspiration. Expect
to spend $35-50, depending on your project and yarn
choices. Your choice of 4- or 8-harness loom

33 Painting
Warp, Weaving Scarves (August 12-17)
Class
Fee $400
Heather Winslow Imagine
enjoying the beauty,
spontaneity and
satisfaction of weaving fabric in which colors are not confined
to warp and/or weft stripes. To
accomplish this you
will begin by stretching out your protein (wool or silk) warp,
enough for two scarves, and “painting” it
with acid dyes in whatever
colors appeal to you, using a picture or natural object to
help you determine a colorway, if you like. Choose
another compatible
color for your weft; then savor every changing nuance as you
weave, with the warp and weft interacting in a spontaneous
array of hues and values in your woven structure. If
you wish to weave later
at home, you may choose to spend the week dyeing. Yarns
may be purchased in the Sievers Shop or bring your own from
home. Expect to spend $30-70 for
yarns, depending on
your choice of fibers, plus $25 materials fee for dyes, chemicals
and notebook. Your choice of 4-
and 8-shaft looms and
weaving accessories
provided. No dyeing experience required, but you must know
how to warp and weave on a multi-harness floor loom independently.
