ZOOM WORKSHOP

Date:  November 13, 2024

Instructor: Karen Donde

Workshop Description:  Although the history of the weave structure known as Beiderwand predates its name, Beiderwand remains a powerful tool for creating contemporary designs. When the traditional draft is turned, converting the customary supplementary weft to a supplementary warp, that power expands exponentially. This presentation will explore Beiderwand's history and traditional drafting and design characteristics. It will also demonstrate the exciting results of turning that draft, which extends well beyond faster, one- shuttle weaving. Join Karen to discover the hidden potential of a Turned Beiderwand draft.

 

Attendee Limit: 35

Note:  Attendees will also have access to the workshop recording for one week following the live Zoom presentation.
