Continue to expand your weaving repertoire in this shrug class. This course is great for taking the jump into basic garment construction and learning to shape rectangular wovens with simple sewing. Students will work with a pairing of yarns (Rylie- baby alpaca, silk, and linen + Alpico- baby alpaca and pima cotton) that are soft and have a great drape. The fabric will be woven using color and weave patterning and a plain weave structure. On the final day of class the classroom will be transformed into a sewing studio, all sewing will be done together! Sewing machines and looms are available for those who need them.This class will have to pattern variations accommodate loom widths and will require a 10 dent heddle. More supply information will follow as class gets closer.
Workshops will be led by Sara Goldenberg White, who has been teaching weaving along the Front Range for over a decade. Her passion for weaving and teaching started during her graduate study at Colorado State University. She teaches a variety of fiber techniques but sharing her love of weaving with others is one of her greatest joys. Sara coauthored Simple Woven Garments: 20+ Projects to Weave and Wear with Jane Patrick. Sara also has a lively fine arts practice and has exhibited her work at museums and galleries throughout the country. Sara enjoys the balance of creating her own work and sharing her love of weaving in the classroom. She looks forward to seeing you there!
