mELISSA WEAVER DUNNING - ACADIAN WEAVING OF FRENCH CANADA AND LOUISANA
L’Amour de Maman (A Mother’s Love) is the charming French phrase for a handwoven wedding dowry, and this class highlights fabrics and techniques from the early French settlements in maritime Canada that were carried along to modern day Cajun Louisiana. Beginning and advanced weavers alike will be amazed at the variations of pattern possible with just 2 harnesses and a few simple techniques. Working on your own loom, each student will weave samples of the Couverture de Mariage, summer skirting with a la planche and other delightful patterning, a winter weft-faced skirt fabric, Boutonne, and Cordonne.
