25328 Rep Weave Basics
Class | Available
Registration Deadline: 11/1
In this workshop participants will learn the basics of rep weave and some of its variations. Students will each be given a different rep weave draft in advance to dress their loom for class. We will start with classic rep treadling, then move into treadling variations, and finally throw out the rule book altogether and see what happens.
All the drafts used in class will be made available to everyone in class. People are encouraged to walk around and see what others are doing and take photos to go with those drafts.
Bring lunch or purchase locally.
AGE: Adults
Dressed loom according to instructions sent ahead of time, shuttles, bobbins, excess warp yarn, weft yarn, scissors
Susan Gilday
Susan has been weaving since 1983. Shortly after moving to Boston, she found a local yarn store that offered weaving classes. Her first class was rigid heddle weaving and she was hooked. She has been a member of Weaver’s Guild of Boston, Potomac Weaver’s Guild, Mystic Weavers Guild and most recently the Weaver’s Guild of Rochester. Her awards include two Best in Division at the New York State Fair (2019, 2023), and Third Place in the Convergence 2022 Fashion Show. She has taken many many many many classes and workshops since that rigid heddle class, but feels most drawn to rep, double weave and deflected double weave.
