This introductory session will cover the basics of weaving, including different types of looms, different warping methods, grayscale, setts, drafts, and record keeping. Students will learn to properly finish their work with a focus on plain weave, doubleweave, twill, and cotton. Upon successful completion, the student will receive The Apprentice Certification. Course fee includes materials in class and lunch each day. A non-refundable deposit of $150 will secure your space with the balance of $725 being invoiced the week of Jan. 15 and the balance due by Jan 20,, 2024. Total fee for the class is $875.
During the in-class week, lessons are comprised of lectures, learning exercises, and weaving assignments. Students can expect to complete weaving assignments outside class hours, and the facility will be open in the evenings and early in the morning in order for students to weave.
Prior to the Apprentice Session, students need to be comfortable warping and weaving independently.
Each session has specific content and course of study, including some form of visual, oral, and written communication (e.g. presentations, research papers, displays). The following is a very brief overview of the apprentice session.
