Cost $80 Member $100 Non-Member
Location: Virtual Workshop using Zoom
Maximum Number of Participants: 20
Workshop Level: Intermediate – participants must be able to warp a loom independently and fully understand the basics of 4-shaft or 8-shaft weaving and drafting.
Workshop Description: Create a lovely scarf inspired by the fabrics of Guatemala! We’ll use the color wheel, mathematical formulas, yarn wrapping, and a few other design tricks to plan a striped ikat warp in tencel or cotton yarns.
We will have several sessions on Zoom, going step by step through the process of design, warping, and dyeing. We will start by learning about color and ordering any yarns we may need. Then we will design and wind our striped warp. Some warps will be tied and then dyed for ikat, using a special knotting technique and easy to use fiber reactive dye. You will do the tying, dyeing and then the weaving on your loom in your choice of twill or plain weave. For more information on Linda’s work, see lindahartshorn.com.
