Warping on a Shoestring - ½ Day
• The class begins by learning how to set up an efficient warping area and the technique
for using a slot and hole paddle to make mixed warps.
• Each student will have hands on practice while making a warp to take home, then
learn how to modify your loom for easier warping with a back to front method for
winding onto a single or double back beam.
• Sectional warping will also be covered using a bed of nails. This old tool that has come
to life again eliminates the need for a tension box.
• Never used an autodenter? Try this interesting tool.
• Finally, no matter what warping method you use, learn to tie on and tension warps
using shoestrings.
Weaving That Sings: The Triple Play - 2 Day
• Have you always wanted your woven designs to flow? Want the freedom to inlay a
variety of materials (both common and unusual) without distorting the ground fabric?
Looking for a way to express your ideas pictorially or abstractly with weaving? Learn to
apply this versatile technique for use in clothing, rugs and pictorial weavings.
• Using two sizes of warps, the Theo Moorman technique allows designs to be “painted”
on the surface with inlay yarns. Three different threadings achieve cloth to put on, walk
on, lay down or hang up.
• If you already have previous experience with the Theo Moorman technique, you will be
guided to design and execute a small project during the workshop (table runner, wall
hanging, pillow top, vest front, etc.
