The Warp & Weft Weaving Workshop
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25th, 11am-2:30pm
Studio, 230 State Street, Kittery, ME 03904
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 textile weaving workshop. Participants will first learn the basic concepts using paper and then will create 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’: This approach is taking the repetition and finding the meditative power in it.
