Weaving w/ textiles & nature:
Weaving, one of humans’ oldest crafts, is still “transversing a set of parallel threads at right angles.” Learning the concepts of the warp and the weft are a particular craft elevated to an art. As with any media, weaving demands an understanding of the interaction between medium and process which then develops into form.
Learning to cultivate a color sense and design discipline, as well as exploring different shapes and patterns will be covered in this workshop. Participants will learn the basic concepts while using paper and then will build their own mini-loom to continue weaving with yarn, fabric and objects from nature. A wonderful goal in getting the most out of weaving is accessing a ‘weavers mind’.
All materials are provided for this workshop
additionally - if there are textiles or natural objects, scraps or yarns that are personal to you, or you'd like to share with the group, please feel free to bring anything you like to weave with- happy to help you include it in whatever you create...
