In this one and a half day workshop, you will learn the basic structure of wedge weave, we’ll begin it together, and then just have fun with it. Beginning weavers welcome. If you love yarn and can weave over and under warps, you can do it. A simple design will be mapped out for you so you can jump right in.
This workshop continues on the following day, March 14, from 10:00am to 5:00pm at the same location.
For those who know the basics of wedge weave, we will explore ways you can plan your designs and expand them with open and closed slits. Each attendee will be contacted ahead of time to answer questions and offer assistance with warping if needed.
To make the most of the workshop, it is strongly suggested that you attend the guild lecture preceding
the workshop, as the history and photos of wedge weave will not be repeated in the workshop.
Janette Gross has been studying, weaving and exhibiting her wedge weave tapestries for 17 years. She is one of two Rydell Visual Arts Fellows for 2023 and the first weaver/tapestry artist to be selected in the fellowship’s 17 year history. Janette will bring samples of her own work, from her very first piece to the current ones, and encourages everyone to bring their own wedge weave work or purchased examples to share.
This workshop is limited to 12 students.
Cost: $50.00 and includes materials.
