Description

This six-week introductory class is great for students starting or needing a review of multi-harness weaving. Amanda will provide students with the textbook and class binder at the beginning of their Introduction to Four Harness Weaving, where students will learn how to make and read a draft and execute a drawdown. Amanda will guide students through all the steps of creating a warp and warping the loom. Students will explore weaving various fabric structures while working on their samplers. The class will then cover finishing techniques and tips for planning your next project. The class is divided into six 3-hour weekly sessions.

Required Skills: 
NONE, perfect for a beginner weaver.

 Students will be supplied with all fiber and tools required for this class.
