SUMMARY:Workshop - Patty Huffer: Linen & Lace Weaving
DESCRIPTION:9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 3 -5 (Mon – Wed) \nMinimum of 9 people and maximum of 11 people \nCost: $110 \nMaterials: $20 paid directly to instructor \nDescription: A workshop for 4 and 8 shaft looms. This is a round robin workshop that will cover many types of woven lace\, from Hand Manipulated to loom controlled. Some of the techniques you will be working on include\, Hand Manipulated Lace: Leno\, Brooks Bouquet\, Danish Medallion and Spanish Open Weave. The loom controlled weaves will include: Huck Lace\, Bronson Lace\, Swedish Lace\, Basket Weave\, Bead Leno and Window Pane Lace. \nThese different weave structures can be woven with Linen or 5/2 cotton. \nPatty’s Bio\nPatty Huffer lives in Washington state and has been weaving since 1981. After graduating from Central Washington University\, with a dual education degree in Home Economics and Physical Education\, she took a summer weaving class. This began her 40 years of weaving and teaching others to weave and spin.\n\nThe love of fibers and teaching others has been a life-long inspiration for her. Starting at a young age with knitting\, crocheting\, cross stitch and needle point. There are new ideas coming from students\, fiber artists and other weavers all the time. She looks forward to the moment when each student\, for the first time\, understands how a woven piece is constructed resulting in a beautifully finished product.\n\nPatty’s experience and use of many varieties of looms and threading has contributed to her ongoing passion for weaving. It is always amazing what can be achieved with different yarns (natural and synthetic) and woven structures.\nSee workshop policy here. \nWorkshop participants agree to indemnity\, defend and hold harmless COSWG\, its officers and members\, from all claims arising out of workshop activities.

SUMMARY:Mini-Workshop: Deflected Double-Weave Scarf on a Rigid Heddle
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this two-day workshop is to learn how to warp and how to weave a deflected double-weave scarf pattern on the rigid heddle. Students will successfully warp their looms on the first day and start weaving their scarf on the 2nd day sufficient to be comfortable finishing their scarf at home. Students are allowed creative license in selected the yarns they wish to weave with using an appropriate dent-size for the yarns they have selected. This approach allows the students of this workshop to view the same pattern applied with different yarn selections. \nNOTE: This workshop is not for beginners. Students must be familiar with how to warp their loom and how to complete a plain weave project. \nInstructor: Raylene Keating \nBio:  \nI have been knitting since the 4th grade which came to a near stop during my child rearing days. I learned how to weave at Cat Bordhi’s “Weaving for Knitters” retreats at Friday Harbor in the San Juans starting in 2019. I so appreciated and have leveraged her Zen approach to rigid heddle weaving. My son’s lawn mower sheep contributions opened the world of spinning yarn. I have several rabbit holes in the fiber arts and have explored some more than others such as but not limited to: knitting\, spinning\, weaving\, crocheting\, tapestry\, dying\, and even needle felting. I consider myself a “fiber explorer” always eager to apply my love of learning and what skills I have to new approaches. \nNumber of Students: Min.= 6      Max.= 10 \nFacility fee:  The facility cost is $30 per day\, $60 total. The facility cost will be split between those who sign up for the workshop. \nEquipment/supplies that the students need to bring: \n\nRigid heddle loom and stand (or clamps to attach to a table)\nTwo heddles with the right dent size for your yarn\nTwo different yarns preferably with different shrink ratios – yarn amts differ based on yarn selected\nWarping peg(s) with clamps (OR warping board if you prefer indirect warping)\nThreading hook\nTwo shuttle stick(s)\nTwo carabiners – 3” size\nEmpty gift paper carboard rolls or paper towel rolls if you have them.\nTapestry needle\nScissors\nA large paper bag or bowl for the floor to hold the yarn you’ll be warping.\nWarp separators – your prefered\nPen or pencil (for taking notes)\nBring your own drinks\nBring your lunch/snacks to share\n\n.\nSee workshop policy here.\n\nWorkshop participants agree to indemnity\, defend and hold harmless COSWG\, its officers and members\, from all claims arising out of workshop activities. \n\n  \n
