Expand your weaving skills to learn a new weaving technique at Weaving Twill on Saturdays,
May 23 and 30 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. in the Greenhouse Auditorium.
This two-day class led by Sharon Bowles will lead students
in a discussion of various 4 shaft Twill types and design rules.
Students will then write their draft pattern, wind and thread a
warp to weave a twill gamp. Students using their own looms
will wind a longer warp to continue to explore different treadling
for the twills on their own.
Students should bring a 4-shaft loom if they have one.
All other supplies will be provided, including a loom if needed.
Students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch
or plan to grab lunch at the Greenhouse Café.
$200/person. Register here.
Registration will close May 16 or when capacity is reached.
