Warp Painting Weekend Intensive, Sept. 5-7 (Fri/Sat/Sun), Catskill, NY
Instructor: Isa Rodrigues
Class Description:
Warp painting is an exciting way to explore color and surface design in weaving. In this class, we will explore different techniques for creating imagery and patterns through warp painting and discuss different types of paints and dyes according to the type of fiber and application. Each student will learn to set up their own loom (from front to back) with a bleached cotton warp and create a small warp-painted piece based on their vision. This class is designed for students who are new to weaving on a shaft loom as well as those with some previous experience who want to explore new techniques.
Level: All Levels

Cancellation Policy:
Please consider carefully before signing up for one of our classes or purchasing a class for another person. Due to the small class size for in-person workshops and the limited number of looms, each person makes an important contribution to the group dynamic and cancelling within short notice can make it difficult to fill your spot. If you do need to cancel, please be aware of our policies:
There are no refunds for class fees. However, if the cancellation is 30 or more days before the start of the workshop, you have the option of rescheduling for a different class free of charge. If the cancellation is fewer than 30 days from the start of the workshop, there is the option of rescheduling only if your spot is filled from the Waitlist or another person. You also have the option of transferring your class reservation to another person at any point. The closer the start date, the more difficult it can be to fill a spot from the Waitlist.
No refunds will be given on gift certificates. (Updated 04/24/2025)
