For Experienced Weavers

Horizontal Bar Background Pickup on the Inkle Loom (6-7 hours)

Audience: For experienced inkle weavers only. Students must know how to warp their loom on their own and be familiar and comfortable doing plain weave on the inkle loom. 

Description: The horizontal bar background pickup technique is commonly used in cultures of the Central and South American countries as well as Native Americans of the Navajo and Pueblo tribes. We will look at examples to learn the many variations which are possible using the horizontal bar pickup technique, explore simple pickup patterns as well as pick and drop patterns using one or both colors. Learn to read and create charts for the designs. Students will set up their looms and weave a sampler of patterns. As time allows, and depending on student aptitude and interest , we can also learn how to weave letters using the same warp.

Yarn, printed handouts, patterns, charting paper,  and rubber mats will be provided and are included in the cost of the workshop.

Workshop fee is $100

An inkle loom is necessary for class and will not be provided. Inkle looms are available for purchase for $65. Please indicate after your name that you will need to buy one at the beginning of class.
