by Cathlena Burr Beginning 4 Shaft Weaving Tue-Thur, Feb 4-6 AND Feb 11-13 9:30—4:30 each day This class is structured for the absolute beginner. You will learn weaving terminology, how to figure materials, read patterns, play with color, work on good techniques, and of course weave beautiful cloth. Since warping the loom has the most number of steps, I stress it so that you become very comfortable with it. You will put on three warps in class: two will be samplers to learn about color, good techniques, and weaving patterns, and the third will be a project of your choice. I provide all looms, tools, notebooks, and materials for the two samplers. If you already have, you may bring a portable floor or table loom to class. You will take the looms home over the weekend to weave and make discoveries. $350.59 (includes tax) and a $10 materials fee. Classes are at SW Decoratives, 5711 Carmel NE.

by Elizabeth Buckley Hachures in Contemporary Tapestry March 5-8, 2020, 9:30-3:30 In this workshop, we will demystify design theory around why hachures work and logic behind how to create multiple effects through their use. From seamless blending, or the feel of ripples and reflections in water, to shaping and shading three-dimensional forms, and creating illusory space, hachures have many applications in contemporary tapestry. We will explore different types of hachures and how to incorporate them in tapestry design, be it representational, abstract, or somewhere in between. Students need to be familiar with basic tapestry techniques and know how to warp their loom. Weaving Water in Tapestry April 30-May 3, 2020, 9:30-3:30 Weaving water in tapestry presents design and technical challenges in depicting the surface of water, the reflection, movement of ripples or waves, and what lies beneath the surface. In this workshop we will explore each of these components, and different ways to utilize tapestry techniques to create the feel of water, whether it be representational, abstract, or somewhere in between. Students need to be familiar with basic tapestry techniques and know how to warp their loom.
