Description

Explore looms and fibers during A Woven Journey - a 2-day workshop In this 12-hour weekend workshop (Saturday, February 26 and Sunday, February 27, 10 am to 4 pm), handweaver Margaret B. Russell takes the beginning weaver, or weaver who would like a refresher, through the entire weaving process, start to finish. We will begin with learning about the weaving equipment, tools, and even the language used. Then each student will measure their fiber on a warping board, dress a loom (prepare the loom for weaving), and weave a patterned sampler/gamp. We will end with discussing finishing techniques and uses for your woven piece. Workshop cost includes use of a 4-shaft table loom, equipment, and tools. This cost also includes fiber for each weaver – wool from Bartlettyarns, a 200-year-old mill in Harmony, ME.
