Intro / Intermediate Weaving, June 29 & 30 (Sat/Sun), 10-5pm, Catskill

Instructor: Samantha Bittman

Introduction to Weaving begins with the basics of hand-weaving using a Schacht Wolf Pup 4-harness floor loom.  On the first day, participants will learn how to wind a warp and set up their own looms.  The second day will cover how to weave, basic weave structures such as plain weave, baskets, twills, and tapestry.  The class will conclude with cutting off and finishing the edges of your weaving.  This class is designed for those new to weaving as well as for those with some experience but need a refresher. 

Intermediate Weaving is the follow up class to Introduction to Weaving and can be taken multiple times, each time focusing on a different creative skill-building project.  A selection of project options are presented to expose people to a range of weave structures (Pointed Twills, Overshot, Double Weave Pick-Up, Monk’s Belt, etc), a selection of warp yarns (merino wool, 5/2 cotton, 10/2 cotton, linen), and project planning fundamentals (calculating the EPI, reed selection, and using a reed to space out your warp threads). In certain circumstances, a participant may select their own self-directed project, with instructor consent.  All materials and equipment are provided.

All materials and equipment are provided.
