| Description |
“Crimp and Create”
This is a 3-day, on-loom workshop exploring a new direction to take fiber. Using a variation of the woven shibori technique for both warp and weft, we will weave a variety of samples to create “crimp cloth.” Students will finish their samples in class in order to demonstrate this important step. Discover how the fabric can be used for entire garments and learn how to use the permanent pleating to replace knitted ribbing for a sweater or to add a knit look to the collar area of a jacket. What fibers besides cotton can withstand the process? What role does synthetic yarn (like polyester – yes, really!) play in the process and what is the secret behind its use? Learn tricks for designing and sewing with the amazing cloth you will be able to create. Skill level: beginner to advanced Equipment required: Loom/student – minimum of 4 shafts necessary – 8 or more shafts is even better! |
