As Marian Stubenitsky has shown in Weaving with Echo and Iris, extended parallel threadings offer endless possibilities. In this workshop, designed for advanced beginners and beyond, you will arrive with your loom dressed in a two-color warp threaded on opposites. (Drafts will be provided about 6 weeks beforehand.) Working with a variety of tie-ups and treadlings, you will weave a series of designs in Echo, Jin (Turned Taqueté), Shadow Weave, Rep and Double Weave. The takeaway is a sampler of colorful patterns and a broader, deeper understanding of the potential for extended parallel threadings and how to design them. For 4-shaft to 32-shaft looms.

Structure for Virtual Workshop

Guild will provide a working list of registrants six weeks before the workshop (March 30, 2024). This allows the instructor to share the instructions, our supply list, and designs to the participants so that they can gather their yarns and warp their looms prior to the workshop. About a week before the workshop begins, the instructor will invite all participants to a “dress rehearsal” on Zoom, in order to say hello, answer any questions about the workshop beforehand, and give a brief run-through on how the workshop will take place. The run-through will include an introduction to our workshop folder on Google Drive, which serves as a workshop library, bulletin board, and show and tell for everyone.

After our dress rehearsal, the instructor will email everyone their Zoom invitation for each of the three days of the workshop (the Zoom link is good for all day). She will also share the link to our Google Drive folder with everyone. The workshop will be scheduled this way:

Saturday, May 11, and Sunday May 19: Sessions will take place from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., 1 to 2 p.m., and 4 to 5 p.m. Central Time. We may run over a bit for some sessions.

Saturday, June 1: One wrap-up session will be held from 1 to 3 p.m., approximately, with a brief break in the middle.

Note: A maximum of 20 students will be accepted.

Cancellation Policy: Full Refund 45 days prior to Workshop
