UpcomingCrackle Weave Mysteries and Magic
2 Day Workshop with Liz Moncrief
Thursday & Friday, November 10 & 11, 2022
9:30am–4:30pm
“This class is comprised of fundamentals of the crackle structure, drafting using computer enhanced draw-downs and hands on weaving using a multitude of treadling combinations. Crackle is very gregarious and she likes to visit all the other major weave families, so you’ll learn something of twills, summer & winter, overshot and lace in the process. Each student will be given the same draft shared by all and we will weave a minimum of ten samples using different treadlings and tie-ups.
This is an excellent workshop to learn and understand components of weave structures such as tied weaves, two tie and double two tie, and to apply them to a basic crackle draft. This is meant to be a 4 shaft weaving class, however if students request, I can provide 8 shaft drafts, and drafts and instructions will be sent out to participants well ahead of time.”
