WORKSHOPS

Revelations in Rep – 2-3 days

This workshop includes a lecture covering the unique characteristics of rep weave, color blending and designing, pattern block movement, selection of materials, and a demonstration of weaving technique.  Each participant will be expected to bring a loom, warped according to instructions provided by the instructor.  The instructions are for warping either a 4 or 8-shaft pattern, to create a 10” wide table runner. (for intermediate to advanced weavers)

Revelations in Rep – 4-5 days

This workshop will cover all the material in the shorter workshop. Students will also design and weave their own projects during the class time. (for intermediate to advanced weavers)

This Warping Tips for Rep Weave video, created for students to view before my workshops, includes relevant tips for all weavers.
