ExpiredSummer & Winter Weaving

2 Week Class with Sheri Ward
Tuesdays & Fridays, June 7–17, 2022
1:00–4:00pm
“Summer and Winter” is a traditional weave you’ve seen in everything from tea towels to rugs. It is so named because it makes a reversible cloth, traditionally with one side light colored, the other dark. Summer and Winter is a two-shuttle block weave and offers some wonderful possibilities for design, both in how the blocks are arranged and in how the treadling is done.
Looms are to be warped prior to the first class, following directions provided by the instructor. You may choose your own colors for warp and weft from materials provided, or bring suitable yarns of your own. You may use one of the studio table looms or bring your own. In addition to projects on individual looms, there will be a couple of looms set up to be used “round robin” style, so you can explore some other applications of Summer and Winter.
Students should have some familiarity with warping a loom, although help will be available. If you would like help, please come to the Textile Studio on Friday, June 3 between 11 and 3, or arrange an alternate time with the instructor.
