John Mullarkey, Instructor
www.malarkycrafts.com
Saturday and Sunday ~ February 6-7, 2010 ~ 9:00am – 4:30pm
Come learn how to tablet weave! Tablet weaving has aspects that will appeal
to both spinners and weavers. Produce
wonderful bands and handles for hand woven/hand knit bags. Tablet weaving produces one of the most
durable weaves for straps of any use.
This workshop will cover the basics of tablet weaving and beyond. On the first day, setup and weaving will be
discussed with an emphasis on threaded-in patterns. The second day will cover more advance
designs using Egyptian Diagonals and Doublefaced patterns.
John Mullarkey is a member of the Weavers Guild of St.
Louis, and has been tablet weaving for more than five years. He has taught tablet weaving at the Midwest
Weavers’ Association’s Conference as well as at Complex Weavers’ biannual
seminar. He started tablet weaving
because the initial investment in this “loomless” technique was so
inexpensive. He continues to tablet
weave (neglecting his floor loom) because it is such a fascinating and flexible
form of weaving.
