Teaching Schedule

This workshop is set up for students who want to learn how to paint and prepare paper for weaving and immerse themselves in Diagonal Twills and Paper Weaving.

If they choose, students will be able to paint and cut two large sheets of watercolor paper to prepare them for weaving.  This part of the class will take place during the first two mornings of the workshop.  Students can use the paper in class or take it home with them. Instructor will provide water color paper and paints, as well as cutting tools.

The weaving part of the workshop will begin with Diagonal Twill Basics, everyone will weave two baskets simultaneously as we explore the foundations of Diagonal Twill Plaiting. After that, students will work at their own pace. The instructor will help students choose projects that help them build their skills and confidence throughout the week. Students can choose projects to explore pattern and color use as well as shaping and corners.

Baskets (prepared kits) offered in the workshop will include: Diagonal Basics (day one), Houndstooth, Buttons and Scraps, Footed Bowl, Recursion (nesting baskets), Ginger Pot, Parallel Pouches, Vijf, Plaid Button Up, and Paper Envelopes.

In this workshop students will weave at their own pace, choosing from a number of paper projects offered by the instructor. Most projects will take the full day, though some will only take a few hours.
