March 10, 2012 – Weaving at Warp Speed - Dena Gartenstein Moses
This workshop is appropriate for anyone who wants to pick up
a little speed in their weaving…whether to be able to make
more great weavings in less time, or to become a production
weaver.
In the morning, Dena will present “Ten (relatively) Easy
Ways to Weave Faster” where we’ll talk about some of the
most common things that slow us down and how to overcome
them.
In the afternoon, we will take an in depth look at three
aspects of the weaving process. First is equipment…what
makes looms better or worse for speed, and what accessories
can best support your weaving. Second is body mechanics; the
nuts and bolts of the weaving process. Third is treadling
sequences and hints for how to adjust your treadling for
ease and speed while weaving complex patterns. Workshop cost
$25.
