WORKSHOPS Many varied and inspirational workshops, mini-workshops and informal sweatshops are offered throughout the year to Guild members, allowing the membership to participate in hands-on classes for design, color, techniques, application, and many other topics. Fall Workshop Announcement
“All Tied Up!” with Jette Vandermeiden Come and join us for an exciting workshop opportunity this coming November! Jette Vandermeiden has been weaving for 30 years and teaching for almost as many. She delves deeply into the “how’s and why’s” of understanding weave structure. Jette has taught widely across USA and Canada, including many college weaving courses, Ontario Handweavers and Spinners Master Weaver diploma courses, at national and international conferences (including Convergence and Complex Weavers Seminar), guilds and through her own studio. ALL TIED UP! The tie-up is your best friend! Thread the loom with one versatile threading and learn how to re-arrange your tie-up so you can weave many, many different structures and projects without re-threading. Discover how integrated twills, layered double weave, summer and winter, plaited twill, breaks and recesses, M’s and O’s, waffle weave and so many others can all be woven with small changes to the tie-up. Level: Basic weaving skills required. Loom: Only 8 shaft looms are suitable. Work on your own loom. Dates: November 12, 13, 14 Cost: Between $130 and $150 depending on travel costs
Deposit: $50 made out to DHSG Location: Irving Jaycee Park Make sure to reserve your spot soon! We are opening the workshop to Ft. Worth members in June. Contact Sarah Hartshorn @ workshops@dallasweavers.org for more info. Photos from some of our previous workshops
