Workshop Description

Understanding Twill Weave structure is basic to understanding many other weave structures, making this workshop useful for beginning and advanced weavers on 4 or 8 Shaft Looms.

Students may choose 4 shafts or 8 shafts to weave several TWILL SAMPLERS called ‘GAMPS’. These gamps will show how threadings and treadlings interact to create many twill structures and how the tie up changes the structures. The gamps will serve as useful references for future weaving. You will have access to both 4 and 8 shaft instructions, but if you have an 8 shaft loom, I encourage you to do the 8 shaft gamps.
 

This class is taught on Zoom, once a week for FOUR weeks. Each session will be 2 hours of teaching preceded by optional 30 minutes social or Q&A time.
 

Students will warp their looms after the first teaching session, and weave gamps during the rest of the class.

We will use groups.io to share documents, photos, and email within the group.

It is very helpful for students to have a weaving software program that can open WIFS, but I will provide instructions and drafts to meet each students needs.
