Weaving Boot Camp III - Blocks and Profile Drafts
Class Description:

Boot Camp 1 explored Straight Draw threading with a sampler. Boot Camp 2 was all about Twill threadings with a Twill Gamp. Boot Camp 3 is about Block Weave structures and Profile Drafts.

The Block Weave class will be a Round Robin class so everyone will thread a Profile Draft and each participant will weave a sample of each weave structure. The Block weaves included in this class will be Summer & Winter, Monks Belt (a form of Overshot), Bronson Lace, Long Cabin, Crackle and Patchwork. You will go home with a sample of each of these Block weaves and the “how to” instructions for each Block Weave.

July 9th is for planning, winding warps and beginning to dressing a loom. Looms must be ready to weave on by the start of class on Wednesday, July 16th.
