In this workshop participants will learn the many applications of Rep Weave. Starting with a Classic Rep weave draft, inspired by weaves such as, Shadow, Honeycomb, Krokbragd, Twill and warp/weft Rep, we will explore the possibilities of undulations, floats, skips, crosses and cells. Every loom will be set up in advance with a different draft, variety of fiber, sett, technique. We will study each sample through drafting and color interactions. Participants will be working on their own loom but may be willing to share samples or allow photographs for record keeping. In addition, a large selection of finished pieces will be available for individual study. Students will go home with a complete portfolio of all the drafts used in the workshop.
