Deborah Silver will present – Multiple Structures using a Straight Threading

This will be a 3-Day In-Person Workshop

Members Only Registration starts November 6, 2022

General Registration starts November 13, 2022

Deborah Silver has literally ‘written the book’ on Split Shed weaving, a technique which allows you to achieve curves and blend colors using continuous wefts on a 4-shaft loom with no special equipment. In this workshop, students will create multiple combinations of weave structures using only four shafts and a straight threading. Only tie-ups and treadling are changed between samples. Students will experiment with combinations of twills, summer and winter, double weave, Han damask, taqueté and more! Woven samples include continuous, complementary, and supplementary wefts, as well as wefts which combine to produce shading for pictorial weaving. Students will also learn to make a cartoon on cloth that will advance with the warp and will not wrinkle when beating.
