Designing Woven Fabrics - Session #3 - VIDEO ONLY
Instructor:    Janet Phillips
Workshop Description:   Designing Woven Fabrics
This workshop will be based on the text of Janet’s book ‘Designing Woven Fabrics’.  Janet will address how to construct a multiple-sectioned sample blanket or gamp, and explore design options with a 2/2 twill weave structure. Janet will cover understanding weave structure, threading plans, lifting plans, tie-up plans and treadling plans.  Design criteria include: color and weave, joining weaves, choosing color, designing stripes, yarn and fiber, sett, and dyeing techniques.
 
This is the third session and final session.  The fee for this session is included in the September registration.  You will received an emailed link and reminder a few days prior to each session.
 
The third session will continue the focus on design criteria which can be applied to the patterns in the sample blanket to enable original fabrics to be woven, referencing the text in ‘Designing Woven Fabrics’.
