Deflected Doubleweave Workshop
Friday-Saturday, April 21-22, 2023 10am-4pm EDT
Learn how to understand the nature of deflected doubleweave structure, the interaction of color, design, and finishing. Space is limited for this interactive workshop! Explore one of three drafts in the Workshop Monograph which I refer to as 4 Shaft “Waffle” “8 Shaft Brocade” or “ 8 Shaft Crackle” with live demonstration and discussion during the workshop. Participants will weave three samples for feedback and wash them in various ways to explore block design, deflection, and differential shrinkage. Additional topics covered include during Day 1 include weft-handling options and sample washing finishing. Day 2 focuses on on a sample study and modifications with feedback followed by additional weaving. Weavers can weave at their own pace as it is not necessary to complete your handwoven by the end of Day 2! There are also different short teaching and demonstration videos to prepare you! A thirty-eight page Workshop Monograph Digital Download $25 must be purchased separately from my store.
