by Elizabeth Buckley 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. Questions or to register, contact Elizabeth at 243-3153 or Elizabeth@elizabethbuckelytapestryartist.com Classes by Cathlena Burr
What Can I Do With a Draft? Wed-Fri, Apr 29-May 1; 9:30-4 Using Overshot as a medium, students will explore pattern structure and drafting. The goal is to be able to look at a draft and determine if the pattern is suitable to the materials, the desired finished product and how to expand, contract or otherwise customize the design. We will also consider ways to create original drafts. Using a variety of materials, students will weave samples of various overshot patterns, re-imagining the possibilities of an old weave structure. This is a “Next Step” class meant to give fairly new weavers the confidence and understanding of the correlation between threading, tie-ups and treadling: to look at any pattern and feel confident that they can weave it. We will be reviewing the basics of reading and writing drafts, on paper, and taking those exercises to the loom for concrete samples of the ideas explored. Students will warp a loom beforehand and come to class ready to weave. $226.54 plus $25 materials fee. Classes are at SW Decoratives, 5711 Carmel NE.
