Weaving Weft-Face Rugs

9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day

Hosted by: Eastside Handweavers Guild

Lakeshore Presbyterian Church - 11 Mile Rd and Jefferson

Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

 

Participants will come to the workshop with looms (either table or shaft looms) threaded in a straight draw (1,2,3,4) with carpet warp. A heavy-duty rug loom is NOT necessary. Samples (table runners or placemats) will be woven in plain weave, straight twill, broken twill, and krokbradt. Additional looms, threaded in overshot and rosepath, will be available for weaving samples, too.

Patterns will be drawn on paper and then woven.

Discussions will include choice of yarns for warp and weft, how to get perfect edges, finishing techniques, and how to plan designs specifically for rugs.

There are 15 spots available. Fee for this 3-day workshop, $1250, will be divided by the number of participants who sign up. There will be an additional $15 materials fee per enrollee that includes all-wool weft yarns and handouts.

Sign up today by emailing:  eastsidehandweavers@gmail.com
