Crackle (on 4S) is a very versatile weave structure that is suitable for many different woven items (bags, clothing, runners, towels, etc). It is similar to overshot and Summer and winter since it uses a pattern weft and a tabby weft. Learn how to use the 4 pattern blocks to create geometric designs. All work is to be done by the student on their own loom.
We meet three times:
- 1st is to go over how crackle works and how to make a sampler.
- 2nd session will be a critique of students’ samples , and a chance to ask questions about what you’ve done and any problems you encountered. Then we’ll help get your project planned.
- 3rd and final session will be to bring in your finished project and discuss how it worked and any future projects you have in mind.
This course is designed for students to work on their own loom. Guild members may be able to use a guild loom, but must first check with Equipment Coordinator, Janie Yates ([email protected]) for availability.
Supplies to Bring:
- note taking supplies (paper, pencil/pen)
