February 2009

Because of an outstanding enrollment in our February & March Basics classes we have added yet another Vävstuga Basics Class to the schedule, May 4-8th.

Mark your calendars with Vävstuga Days April 28 – May 2. We are planning lots of beautiful Spring warps for your weaving pleasure. Bring your friends!

The following week-long classes still have some openings:

  • Heirlooms, March 30-April 3.
    Come experience a variety of beautiful traditional Swedish techniques as well as fine-tuning your loom dressing and weaving skills.
  • Curtains and Drapes, May 18-22
    We have been researching some beautiful drafts for this class. We plan to have beams wound ahead of time to ensure more weaving time for each student.

The following 2-day classes have openings:

  • Dubbelbinding Rug, March 23-24
    Striking designs are possible in this technique. the high quality linen warp along with either wool or cotton rags in the weft make a very sturdy and beautiful rug.
  • Traditional Rosepath, May 11-12
    Learn to design and weave these timeless geometric patterns. if you enjoy playing with colors, you will love this class.
  • Bound Rosepath, May 14-15
    This one-sided weave allows for very detailed geometric patterns, or actual pictures of people, animals, houses, or anything else imaginable that can be drawn symmetrically on a width of five squares. We will spend time learning to design as well as weave this intriguing technique.
