Woven Optical Illusions

About Woven Optical Illusions

Weavers have studied visual effects for many years. But this presentation takes the idea much further. Diving deep into the world of optical play to find the design nuggets that give the essence of the effect to translate successfully into the dimensionality of weaving, we explore illusory contours, invisible colours and shapes, interlacing effects of all shapes, sizes and weave structures, bulges, twisted cords, visual depth, skewed squares, and eye-popping images. Taken from familiar and less well-known sources, these fun effects appear in different weave structures and colour experiments, including multi-colour taqueté, Summer & Winter, Beiderwand, 4-colour double weave, deflected double weave, double weave, colour-and-weave, shadow weave, diversified plain weave, twills, plaited twills, supplementary warps and wefts.

This class capacity is 50 students.

I found weaving in 1991 and was obsessed in that first encounter. It took a while to find my way through commercial weaving, product weaving, finally coming back to where it all started – art weaving. In my previous professional life I was a musician and oboe teacher so it was natural to gravitate to teaching weaving – that special moment when someone lights up with understanding and passion is priceless – and addictive! I now create, exhibit and sell my art, write books on weaving and teaching courses online and in face-to-face studio workshops here at my home in SW France. I help people to unlock their creativity through weave and transform into weavers and weaving artists.
