Paint Two, Beam One: Painting Two Warps and Weaving Them as One
About Paint Two, Beam One: Painting Two Warps and Weaving Them as One
Learn how to hand-paint two warps in different color palettes and beam them together to weave one luminous fabric on your loom. NOTE: This class is lecture/demo format, with the dyeing, beaming of warps, and weaving taking place after class. We will cover how to wind your warps, plan your colors, prepare your dyes, paint your warps, and beam them as one on your loom. In addition to handouts, you'll receive a variety of WIFs and PDFs giving you threadings, tieups, and treadlings for patterns on 4, 6, 8, and 12 shafts. (You also have the option to work with a pattern you've chosen beforehand.) Many warp-emphasis designs -- for 4 shafts and beyond -- lend themselves well to this technique. The focus is on exploring the possibilities of color and learning new skills. Also, studio safety is detailed and emphasized.
The class will run from 1 to 5 p.m. Eastern, with a short break after about an hour and 30 minutes.
This class is limited to 75 students.
