SUMMARY:The Farms: Weaving Twill
DESCRIPTION:Experience Level: Intermediate (have taken Beginning Weaving I & II or similar experience) \nExpand your weaving skills to learn a new weaving technique at Weaving Twill on Saturdays\, May 23 & 30 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. in the Greenhouse Auditorium. \nThis two-day class led by Sharon Bowles will lead students in a discussion of various 4 shaft Twill types and design rules. Students will then write their draft pattern\, wind and thread a warp to weave a twill gamp. Students using their own looms will wind a longer warp to continue to explore different treadling for the twills on their own. \n$200/person*. Register here. Registration will close May 16 or when capacity is reached.  All sales are final. \n*Students should bring a 4-shaft loom if they have one.
