SUMMARY:Laverne Waddington - The Backstrap Loom and Weaving in South America        /          Scholarship presenter -  Teresa Shaffer "Dyeing Yarns”
DESCRIPTION:Bio: \nLaverne Waddington has been learning to weave on various kinds of simple looms with indigenous teachers in South America since 1996. In her home in Santa Cruz\, Bolivia\, she combines elements of ethnic design and her own original patterns to create unique pieces on a backstrap loom using the various techniques and structures she has studied in South and Central America as well as with backstrap weavers from Vietnam and Myanmar.\nSince 2010\, she has published eight instructional manuals on the various woven structures and finishing techniques that she has studied and produced a DVD on Operating a Backstrap Loom. \nHer articles on backstrap weaving and indigenous textiles have appeared in Handwoven magazine\, Shuttle\, Spindle & Dyepot\, Piecework\, Tiny Studio Creative Life and Spin Off as well as in the published proceedings of the 2012 and 2016 Braid Society conferences. \nShe has shared her skills and experiences with many visitors to Bolivia over the years and now reaches a global audience with her weaving tutorials and travel tales on her blog. She provides online advice and support to weavers through forums such as Ravelry and Facebook groups and teaches and speaks at guilds and textile conferences around the world. \nPresentation:  The Backstrap Loom and Weaving in South America \nFrom her home in Santa Cruz\, Bolivia\, Australian Laverne Waddington has been traveling since 1996 to meet and study with indigenous weavers from the tropical lowlands of Bolivia to the highlands of Chile\, Peru\, Ecuador and Bolivia\, and from the central valleys of Chile to the coastal regions of Ecuador. \nFascinated by the variety of simple tools and looms that these weavers use to create astonishingly intricately patterned cloth\, she has taken on the humble backstrap loom as her main weaving tool. \nIn this talk Laverne shares her experiences learning to weave in South America\, describes the various kinds of looms she has encountered – especially the backstrap loom – as well as how she has used the acquired skills and know-how in her own work. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/91266640116?pwd=K2g0b1hhaU5mNTBkVDIwRTQ4ckdldz09 \nMeeting ID: 912 6664 0116\nPasscode: 974225
