Exploration of 3D Weaving on a 2D Loom, Cool Cross
About Exploration of 3D Weaving on a 2D Loom, Cool Cross with Esther Rodgers
Who says what comes off your loom has to be flat? What if you could weave wind chimes and mobiles? 2-dimensional weaving that popped into a 3-dimensional piece when it comes off the loom? This class explores the exciting potential of 3D weaving on a small rigid heddle or two-harness loom. Students will learn how to warp their loom to create the spacing pattern that will provide the 3D effect. Students will then learn the weft pattern, as well as techniques for adding 3D objects. Creative weft techniques will also be taught. Time will be spent weaving, and by the end of the day, students will remove their pieces and see the magic of how they become 3-dimensional.
This Fiber Arts Seminar is offered as part of the 2021 Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and is limited to 20 students.
Class Materials Needed
Students need to have an unwarped rigid heddle loom, 12 inches wide minimum and a materials kit purchased directly from the instructor. Materials kit will include warp and weft yarns. Students will have the option of choosing from four different colorways. Materials kit will be an additional $40, and can be purchased directly from instructor. Ordering instructions for the materials kit will be available in Lessonface once you have enrolled. To allow enough time for the kit to arrive prior to the start of class, registration for this class will close on April 3.
Students can add any assortment of embellishments to their weaving or may purchase an embellishment kit from the instructor if they would like as well.
