New England Weavers' Seminar:  2023 Conference

[Special Note: This class begins promptly on THURSDAY, July 10 at 8:30 A.M.]

 

This lively and intensive course is designed as an introduction to the basic techniques of weaving:  winding a warp, dressing the loom, and weaving a finished piece.  The focus will be on exploring the basic weave structures — plain weave and twills in their many variations — designing and drafting a project and calculating yarn requirements.  You will also learn about looms and equipment, yarns, and finishing techniques.  In addition, you will be able to take full advantage of NEWS: attending general lectures and exhibits while meeting other weavers.  After completing this workshop, you will be able to warp a loom, weave on your own, and know where help is readily available.  Looms are provided.
