Workshop Description: Weaving Tips and TricksJuly 24 - 30, 2024
Video Duration: Approximately 2 hours
The hints, tips, and suggestions for warping and weaving that tend to be show stoppers during classes from beginning to advanced. Something for everyone no matter how long you've been weaving, since it's always worth seeing how other folks do something and adding more tools to your weaver's toolbox. Janet will describe and demonstrate her top two or three hints (and favourite household gadgets!) for each step of the weaving process: winding warps, beaming the warp, threading the heddles, tying up, and sitting down to weave.
