Season 9 - So Many More Places To Go
In Season 9 we will be doubling down on Double Weave, we’ll take our first look at Diversified Plain Weave and continue on with Deflected Double Weave. Each episode will have tutorials and projects for both 4 and 8 shafts and we’ll continue to overlay new ideas, new concepts, new graphics and new use of colour onto our fabric. I’m so pleased to welcome back Barbara Mitchell and Rebecca Logan, and we’ve added a few more guest instructors. Elisabeth Hill and Terry Mattison will be teaching in the studio and David Schulz will be visiting us via Zoom! It’s another jam-packed year at the School of Weaving.
