Workshop - Remixing weave drafts through pattern play

In this workshop, we will explore the logic and pattern play of weaving through hand-drawn drafts and paper weaving. The first half of the workshop will focus on learning the fundamentals of the woven construction of our every-day textiles. Participants will get an overview of woven structure design and practice hand drafting basic weave structures including tabby, twill, and their variations. In the second half of the workshop, we will play with these structures by stamping our own gridded patterns and weaving them in paper, using custom-designed stamps and a drafting zine booklet. These mini-zine pattern books can then be shared, revisited, and kept as artifacts of our pattern play.

The workshop will be lead by Etta Sandry, live online from Boulder Colorado. All materials+equipment provided but feel free to bring your own paper if you have favourite colours!
