Structural Tapestry with Betty Hilton - Nash

In this 3 day class you will learn how to adapt a

one dimensional design into a 3 dimensional

cartoon for tapestry weaving. You will warp your

looms with linen and weave this cartoon using a

mix of different wefts, wool, linen, nettle, raffia,

silk, rag rug style strips of cloth, etc. We will be

focusing on making vessels of different shapes and

sizes.

No armature is needed because of the use of the

stiffer wefts and a firm beat which will give the

piece enough body to stand on it’s own.

Different finishing techniques will be discussed.

Please bring any weft materials you might want to

experiment with, but warp and weft materials will

also be provided.

This is an intermediate tapestry weaving class, you

must be able to independently warp a loom and

weave a one dimensional tapestry on your own.

You will be using your own looms, do not pre-warp
