This class is designed for students who know how to warp a loom and understand some basic techniques of weaving tapestry: meet and seperate, hatching, as well as weaving geometric and curved shapes. If you have taken Betty's beginning tapestry weaving you should have these skills. In this 3 day class we will review the above techniques as well as adding some new ones as you weave a small cartoon of your own design. Day 1 will be spent refining your image into a weaveable cartoon. Please bring any photos, sketches or paintings you want to weave. This is not a design class, please have your design ideas worked out prior to class. You will warp your loom and start weaving once the cartoon is finalized. Day 2 & 3 you will weave your image. We will discuss finishing and ways to present your piece after cutting your piece off the loom on day 3. You may not finish weaving your image in class, so if you have one, bringing your own loom would be best. Local does have looms to use but these need to be returned to the studio at the end of class.
