Weaver House

✧ only two spots left ✧ Join us this weekend, Jan 12 from 1pm-4pm for a special afternoon workshop— project planning and weaver notes!

do you have trouble project planning — where to start? — or how to keep your weaving notes organized? Join instructor , the founder of Weaver House and designer behind weaver notes, for an afternoon of textile design, project management and studio practice tips and tricks.

students will learn the basics of how to plan their own projects and determine specifications such as: warp and weft yarns, warp width and length, epi, reading a harness draft, etc. They will also learn about using a sketchbook to record project notes, how and why to sample, labeling samples and general studio practice knowledge. Each workshop participant will have the option to purchase a weaver notes: project planning notebook to get them started on their weaving journey– how to use this notebook will also be covered in the class. Rachel will show examples of her project notebooks, weavings & samples, and tour students through her personal studio.

this course is designed for multi-shaft and rigid heddle weavers, but advanced tapestry and frame loom weavers may still find it useful (especially if you’re considering making the jump from the rigid heddle to a floor loom). Students will also have the opportunity to page through resource books within Weaver House’s extensive library.
