Velvet for Contemporary Handweavers
Instructor:  Wendy Landry
Workshop Description:  Velvet for Contemporary Handweavers.
This workshop presents the principles of handwoven velvet, and  techniques and loom adaptations  for contemporary exploration. Wendy shows how it can be made on the simplest of frame looms with weighted warp systems. Wendy also discusses how  common 4 and 8 shaft looms can be used by contemporary handweavers to explore velvet pile textures, velvets with brocade, and even polychrome options with two pile warps, to make images using pick-up techniques. Of course, all these methods can be extended to multi-shaft dobby looms and draw looms as well. 
 
Supplies:  None
Materials/Handouts Fee:  None
Attendee Limit:  Unlimited
