Pushing the Boundaries of Plainweave

I have always looked at plain weave as the most important architectural structure in hand weaving. Its enormous potential for crafting "canvases" on which to design, is often overlooked.

While we explore the many permutations of plain weave, such as warp faced, weft faced, cramming & denting, denting, supplementary warp and threading plain weave in blocks, we also look at the fundamental importance of sett.

This workshop is also about adapting techniques.

Six samples will be woven exemplifying excellent use of colour and design.
