Presentation: Totally Tied-Weaves
Meeting on Saturday, March 2, at Maravilla, 5486 Calle Real, Santa Barbara
You may have tried Summer & Winter or dabbled with a little Tied Overshot; you may have heard of something called “Bergman” or wondered what on earth “Quigley” might look like. If so, you are off to a good start, but you’ve hardly scratched the surface of the amazing world of Tied-Weaves. Learn the basics of what makes a weave “Tied”; how these structures work and how weaving software can make the design process fun and easy.
Workshop with Jannie Taylor on March 3 and 4 needs a few more participants!
The two-day workshop will be held at the San Antonio Village clubhouse, 39 N. San Marcos Road, Santa Barbara. Please email sbfag1@gmail.com or use the CONTACT page to sign up!
March 3 and 4, 2019, 9:00-4:00 each day. Cost: $200 member, $235 non-members
Weaving and Designing in Summer & Winter (2 days)
Students will gain an understanding of the tied weave commonly known as Summer & Winter through drafting exercises and by weaving samples of a variety of Summer & Winter designs on 4, 6, 8 and more shafts. Influence of color, value and scale in Summer & Winter designs will be discussed and covered through software demonstrations and a variety of samples. Using Summer & Winter for clothing, accessories and household textiles will be discussed.
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 Summer & Winter workbook and a set of samples. This will be a Round-Robin Weaving Workshop.
Skill Level: Beginner to advanced. Participants should be able to read a weaving draft and thread a loom.
Materials Fee: $35.00 for a comprehensive workbook. Optional $15.00 fee for a collection of all workshop drafts, plus bonus drafts.
