I can give practical one/two/three day or week long weaving courses in the following subjects:

DESIGNING OFF THE LOOM : -
Designing on paper. Constructing weave diagrams, threadings and lifting plans- based on 2/2 twill weave. Draw-downs. Colour and Weave effects etc, etc!

COLOUR IN FABRICS:
Day 1: Finding colour ideas, Designing stripes, Card winds, Card loom samples. Preparing a warp for putting on the loom
Day 2: Taking the ideas discovered in day 1 and then Designing With Colour on the loom.

UNDERSTANDING WEAVE STRUCTURES!
The content of these courses are flexible but in general they follow the following format:
Composite sample blankets are woven to illustrate the basic textures and effects that can be achieved with the four shaft weaves.
Further days on the workshop will enable the student to experiment with design techniques, which will develop these basic effects into original fabric designs.
